Effects of leucine-rich protein supplements on anthropometric parameter and muscle strength in the elderly: a systematic review and meta-analysis
B. Komar, L. Schwingshackl, Georg Hoffmann, Effects of leucine-rich protein supplements on anthropometric parameter and muscle strength in the elderly: A systematic review and meta-analysis, The Journal of nutrition, health and aging, Volume 19, Issue 4, 2015, Pages 437-446 Leucine supplementation has shown to significantly increase gain in body weight (p=0.02), lean body mass (p=0.0005) and body mass index (p=0.001) compared with control groups. Furthermore, the benefit of leucine supplementation has a more profound impact on body weight and lean body mass in individuals who have pre-existing sarcopenia.

Breaking Barriers to Oral Nutritional Interventions in Older Adults with Malnutrition
PART B: Daly RM et al. 2025 Knowledge, awareness, beliefs, attitudes, current practices, and perceptions of responsibility to the identification and management of sarcopenia among Australian general practitioners and practice nurses: A national survey
A national, anonymous 33-item, online purpose-designed survey of GPs and Practice Nurses explores awareness and attitudes toward sarcopenia, and how clinicians play a role in its management. Barriers to effective implementation in primary practice are also identified and discussed.
Effects of leucine-rich protein supplements in older adults with sarcopenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Lee SY, Lee HJ, Lim JY. Effects of leucine-rich protein supplements in older adults with sarcopenia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Arch Gerontol Geriatr. 2022 Sep-Oct;102:104758. Data from six randomised controlled trials including a total of 699 participants, demonstrate that the consumption of leucine-rich protein supplements (offering 3-6g leucine per day) can improve muscle strength, muscle mass and performance in sarcopenic older adults compared to a control group (P<0.001) and may be suggested as a nutritional treatment for sarcopenia.

Improving sarcopenia in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of whey protein supplementation with or without resistance training
Li ML, Zhang F, Luo HY, Quan ZW, Wang YF, Huang LT, Wang JH. Improving sarcopenia in older adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials of whey protein supplementation with or without resistance training. J Nutr Health Aging. 2024 Apr;28(4):100184 Results from Ten randomised control trial studies including 1154 participants, demonstrate the value of whey protein (9.6-40g per day) supplementation in adults with sarcopenia. When compared to Isocaloric placebo (PLA)/Routine consultation (RC) group, whey protein consumption significantly increased appendicular skeletal muscle mass index and muscle mass in addition to gait speed.
