These reviews assess efficacy (is each medication achieving its therapeutic goal?), tolerability (are side effects manageable?), and adherence (is the patient able to maintain the regimen?)
Drawing on guidance from bodies such as the British Dietetic Association (BDA), the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN), and the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN), general ranges are as follows: Sedentary adults: approximately 0.81.0 g of protein per kg of body weight per day Moderately active adults: approximately 1.21.6 g per kg per day Those engaged in regular resistance training: approximately 1.62.0 g per kg per day Older adults (over 65): approximately 1.21.5 g per kg per day, as muscle preservation becomes increasingly important with age (consistent with PROT-AGE and ESPEN consensus) For example, a 90 kg moderately active adult would aim for roughly 108144 g of protein per day
