Key Points

  • This research aims to evaluate the effects of whey protein supplementation on lung function and immune responses in older adults.
  • Conducted a randomized controlled trial
  • Compared outcomes between groups receiving whey protein and a placebo
  • Assessed lung function and immune response metrics before and after intervention
  • Whey protein supplementation improved pulmonary immune response.
  • Participants experienced enhanced systemic immune response.
  • Lung function and functional capacity were positively affected.

Abstract

IWPS improved pulmonary and systemic immune response, lung function and functional capacity of older adults.
