Brief Summary

This study sought to determine if the number of meals per day with an adequate protein content (defined as eating \>30 g protein or \>0.4 g protein/kg body mass each) is associated with presenting physical disability in Mexican adults aged 60 years and older. Physical disability was evaluated with self-reported questionnaires for different activities of daily living.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Disability on Instrumental Activities of Daily Living

  Disability reported for each item of instrumental activities of daily living (assessed with Lawton questionnaire). This instrument assesses how well the subject performs some daily activities involving tools (e.g. handling finances, taking medication, using the telephone). The instrument consists of five items for men and eight for women, and each item is coded for 0 (disabled) or 1 (functional) depending on if subjects are capable to successfully complete the activity. We only used the five items that apply for both men and women.
