Patterns of protein intake in older adults. (A) Summarizes the proportion of the sample achieving the current Reference Nutrient Intake RNI for protein, meeting the higher recommended level, and the proportions consuming adequate per-sitting intakes across the day; (B) shows the distribution of intake across the day, presented as percentage reaching 25 g intake in any given window; (C) shows the association between body mass index (BMI) and protein intake is moderate and negative (r = −0.35 and p < 0.001); (D) shows no association between age and daily protein intake in this population (r = 0.09 and p = 0.13).
