Dietary Protein Intakes Were Associated with Lowered Hip Fracture Risk -A 1:1 Age- and Gender- Matched Case-Control Study Among Chinese Elderly Men and Women

摘要

Protein has been identified as being both detrimental and beneficial to bone health, depending on a variety of factors such as the amount of dietary protein intake, the protein sources, calcium intake and supplementation, weight change, and the acid/base balance of the diet. Studies examining the relationship between dietary protein and bone health have reported conflicting findings. Thus, the aim of current study was to investigate the association of protein in diet with hip fracture risk among Chinese elderly.
