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) |
a
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
b
Rate ratios were estimated using negative binomial regression models.
