Brief Summary

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

The loss of skeletal muscle mass and function usually occurs with aging, known as primary sarcopenia. Sarcopenia has a prevalence of 11.6% among the elderly population in China and is closely associated with increased risks of falls, disability, and mortality. Currently, there is a lack of definition criteria for sarcopenia based on biomarkers. The Gut-Muscle Axis hypothesis suggests a complex interplay between gut microbiota and skeletal muscle. Nutritional intervention targeting the gut microbiota potentially plays a significant role in muscle regeneration. Therefore, this study aims to explore the effects of symbiotic and whey protein on muscle, gut microbiota, and clinical outcomes among sarcopenia patients, to provide a reference for further diagnosis and treatment of sarcopenia.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will last 12 weeks. For the duration of the study, an anticipated total of 120 participants will be randomly assigned to three groups. During the study visits, questionnaires, blood and stool collection, and functional testing will occur. Intention-to-treat analysis (ITT) and per-protocol analysis (PP) will be conducted in statistical analysis.
