Dietary Protein Intake and Its Associations With Bone Properties Using Peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography and Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry in Endurance-Trained Individuals
Our findings suggest that there are no relationships between total dietary protein intake and pQCT measures in endurance-trained individuals. However, positive relationships were found with protein intake from animal products and tibial SSI<sub>p</sub> and muscle CSA. Additionally, our results suggest total dietary protein intake explains a small variance in LS aBMD. A future larger-scale analysis would benefit from stratifying associations by sex.
