Protein-rich food intake frequency score and muscle mass, strength, muscle-specific strength or physical performance in Japanese older women: a cross-sectional study
Higher Take 10-FFS and PFFS were associated with better muscle mass, strength, and physical performance (P < 0.05), emphasizing the importance of protein intake in preventing sarcopenia. However, no direct association was found between PFFS and muscle-specific strength (P > 0.05). This underscores the complexity of the factors influencing muscle-specific strength.
