ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how a special formula milk powder affects body composition and physical performance in middle-aged and older adults over a period of 24 weeks. The goal is to see if this milk powder can help improve health compared to regular milk powder and a group that doesn’t receive any milk powder intervention. The study is not yet recruiting participants, but when it begins, it will involve adults aged 50 and older who have a body mass index (BMI) of less than 22 and meet specific health criteria.

To be eligible, participants must live in Guangzhou and not plan to move in the next six months. They should also be able to commit to the study and not have any severe health issues or lactose intolerance. Participants can expect to take part in the study for about six months, during which they will receive either the formula milk powder or regular milk powder while their body composition and physical performance are monitored. This research aims to help us understand how nutrition can support healthy aging.
