Study Summary

This study is an ancillary study to the Utilizing Protein During Weight Loss to Impact Physical Function (UPLIFT) trial (NCT03074643) to 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 bone phenotypes 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 on the 18-month change from baseline in total hip trabecular volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD). Total hip trabecular vBMD (in mg/cm\^3) was measured from the baseline and 18-month quantitative CT scans using the Mindways Model 3 phantom to calibrate the vBMD measures. The 18-month change in total hip trabecular vBMD from baseline is reported for this outcome measure.
