Abstract

A recent study conducted by NutriScience LLC found that beef consumption is associated with higher intakes and adequacy of key nutrients in older adults aged 60 years and above. The study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2011 to 2018 and found that beef is a valuable source of high-quality protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. The research revealed that a high percentage of older adults did not meet nutrient recommendations for various vitamins and minerals. However, those who consumed beef had higher intakes of essential nutrients and were more likely to meet nutrient recommendations compared to non-consumers. The study suggests that beef can play a beneficial role in improving nutrient adequacy in older adults' diets. [Extracted from the article]
