DESCRIPTION:PhD Oral Defense of Samaneh Farsijani\, School of Dietetics and
  Human Nutrition\n\nOlder people form the fastest growing proportion of th
 e world’s population. Loss of muscle mass and strength\, known as sarcopen
 ia\, and impaired physical function are well-recognized aspects of aging.
 \n\nSarcopenia is considered an important predictor of frailty\, disabilit
 y\, institutionalization and mortality\, imposing a heavy burden on the he
 althcare system. Among many possible etiologic factors\, an unbalanced die
 t and specifically inadequate protein intake\, is thought to contribute to
  sarcopenia in senior adults. It remains to be determined whether mealtime
  distribution of protein intake\, independent of protein quantity\, affect
 s muscle mass and physical performance in older adults in the long-term. D
 espite the potential contribution of dietary factors to healthy aging\, th
 e role of dairy products on body composition and physical performance in f
 ree-living older adults has been scarcely studied in longitudinal studies.
 \n\nThe global objectives of this thesis are: (1) to examine the extent to
  which total protein intake and mealtime protein distribution are associat
 ed with lean mass (LM) and appendicular LM (aLM) and their 2-y changes\; (
 2) to examine the cross-sectional and longitudinal relationship between me
 altime distribution of protein intake and physical performance\; and (3) t
 o investigate the association between total dairy intake and changes in bo
 dy composition and physical performance over 3 years\, using the NuAge dat
 abase (Quebec Longitudinal Study on Nutrition as a Determinant of Successf
 ul Aging) in community-dwelling men and women (aged 67-84 y).\n\nEveryone 
 in the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ community is welcome to attend a PhD oral defense. Please jo
 in us in celebrating the accomplishments of our PhD candidates.\n\n \n
