Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to compare the effect of whey protein and collagen on fat free mass, muscle strength, functional ability, wound healing and life quality in elderly patients undergoing elective knee- or hip surgery (defined as elective knee- or hip arthroplasty). The patients are admitted at the department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Herlev Gentofte Hospital.

Participants

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Collagen

Participants of this arm are going to consume 30 g of collagen peptides daily for 30 days

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Whey protein and Collagen supplementation

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Participants of each arm will consume 30 g daily of the assigned protein supplementation for 30 days. The protein supplementation will be given as protein powder which the participants will have to dissolve in cold drinks. During the intervention fat free mass, muscle strength, functional ability, wound healing and life quality of the participants will be monitored.

Whey Protein

Participants of this arm are going to consume 30 g of whey protein daily for 30 days

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Whey protein and Collagen supplementation

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

Participants of each arm will consume 30 g daily of the assigned protein supplementation for 30 days. The protein supplementation will be given as protein powder which the participants will have to dissolve in cold drinks. During the intervention fat free mass, muscle strength, functional ability, wound healing and life quality of the participants will be monitored.
