Whey Protein Supplementation Positively Modulates Lung Function and Pulmonary and Systemic Immune Response in Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

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.
