Study Summary

This study will evaluate the effects of diet composition (i.e., amount of protein and carbohydrate) during a 6-month weight loss intervention and 12-months of follow-up on physical function, muscle mass, and weight loss maintenance in obese older adults. Participants will receive either a protein or carbohydrate supplement along with a behavioral weight loss intervention.

Primary Outcome

To determine the effects of a higher protein / lower CHO diet vs. lower protein / higher CHO diet during a 6-month weight loss intervention and 12 months of follow-up on change in lower extremity physical function assessed by the expanded Short Physical Performance Battery score over 18 months. The expanded Short Physical Performance Battery score ranges from 0 to 4 with higher scores indicating better lower extremity physical function

Interventions
