What This Study Did, in Plain Language
What Was Tested
The paper reports a study of Copper (Supplement), published as a randomized controlled trial.
However, evidence regarding long-term dietary adaptations and their association with body composition in overweight women remains limited.
This secondary analysis of the ACOORH randomised controlled trial investigated whether a protein-rich soy-based meal replacement promotes sustained dietary protein intake and favourable body composition changes in female participants.
Who Took Part
The age groups tagged for this paper are adults and middle-aged adults, women only.
Methods: Female participants from the multicentre ACOORH RCT with complete dietary records at baseline, week 12 and week 52 were included (n = 64).
How the Study Was Run
The researchers set it up as a randomized and multicenter study.
The participants were allocated by chance, so the Copper (Supplement) group and the comparison group should start out alike.
More than one site took part, so the participants came from several places.
Dietary intake, body composition, physical activity and muscle strength were evaluated longitudinally.
What Was Measured
This secondary analysis of the ACOORH randomised controlled trial investigated whether a protein-rich soy-based meal replacement promotes sustained dietary protein intake and favourable body composition changes in female participants.
Between-group comparisons, repeated measures ANCOVA and exploratory correlation analyses were performed.
The subject headings attached to it are Soybean Proteins, Body Composition, Overweight, Dietary Supplements, Feeding Behavior, Energy Intake and Dietary Proteins.
Author keywords: ACOORH, dietary protein intake, meal replacement and middle-aged women.
