TABLE 3.
Adjusteda rate ratiosb at follow-up (1990–1991) by standard deviation difference in protein intake at baseline (1988–1989) in the Framingham Original Cohort stratified by percent weight change
Weight loss (≥ −5% change) (n=116) |
No weight loss (n=639) |

---|---|---|
Protein intake | Rate ratio (95% CI) | Rate ratio (95% CI) |
Total protein | 0.46 (0.22, 0.93) | 1.04 (0.79, 1.36) |
Animal protein | 0.53 (0.30, 0.93) | 1.04 (0.84, 1.29) |
Plant protein | 0.48 (0.21, 1.08) | 0.92 (0.69, 1.22) |
Adjusted for sex, age, height, weight, total energy, and history of falls. Animal protein and plant protein intake were adjusted for each other when examined
Rate ratios were estimated using negative binomial regression models.
