Ideally, weight loss should be derived almost exclusively from the fat mass compartment as this is the main driver of metabolic disease, however, several studies have shown that there is an accompanying loss of tissue from the fat-free compartment, especially skeletal muscle. Population groups including post-menopausal women, the elderly, those with metabolic disease and athletes may be particularly at risk of skeletal muscle loss when following a weight management programme. Research studies that have addressed this issue across a range of population groups are reviewed with a focus upon the contribution of resistance and endurance forms of exercise and a higher intake dietary protein above the current guideline of 0.8 g/kg body weight/day. While findings can be contradictory, overall, the consensus appears that fat-free and skeletal muscle masses can be preserved, albeit to varying degrees by including both forms of exercise (but especially resistance forms) in the weight management intervention. Equally, higher intakes of protein can protect loss of these body compartments, acting either separately or synergistically with exercise. Elderly individuals in particular may benefit most from this approach. Thus, the evidence supports the recommendations for intakes of protein above the current guidelines of 0.8 g/kg body weight/d for the healthy elderly population to also be incorporated into the dietary prescription for weight management in this age group.</jats:p>"}]}],"creator":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380022497932037377","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"David McCarthy"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"Public Health Nutrition Research Group, London Metropolitan University, London N7 8DB, UK"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1380022497932037376","@type":"Researcher","foaf:name":[{"@value":"Aloys Berg"}],"jpcoar:affiliationName":[{"@value":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Freiburg, 79117 Freiburg, Germany"}]}],"publication":{"publicationIdentifier":[{"@type":"EISSN","@value":"20726643"}],"prism:publicationName":[{"@value":"Nutrients"}],"dc:publisher":[{"@value":"MDPI AG"}],"prism:publicationDate":"2021-07-20","prism:volume":"13","prism:number":"7","prism:startingPage":"2473"},"reviewed":"false","dc:rights":["https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"],"url":[{"@id":"https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/7/2473/pdf"}],"createdAt":"2021-07-20","modifiedAt":"2025-10-11","relatedProduct":[{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1360025430665955072","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@value":"Association between self‐reported weight loss and new long‐term care insurance certifications: A 9‐year Japanese older adult cohort study"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1390584870602660096","@type":"Article","resourceType":"学術雑誌論文(journal article)","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@language":"en","@value":"Effects of rapid weight loss on the body composition and pathophysiological mechanisms involved in obesity"}]},{"@id":"https://cir.nii.ac.jp/crid/1390585636769671296","@type":"Article","relationType":["isReferencedBy"],"jpcoar:relatedTitle":[{"@language":"ja","@value":"発育期における長期間の自発走運動とカロリー制限が雌ラット骨格筋の細胞内シグナル伝達に及ぼす影響"},{"@language":"en","@value":"Effects of long-term voluntary running exercise and caloric restriction during development on intracellular signaling in female rat skeletal muscles"},{"@language":"ja-Kana","@value":"ハツイクキ ニ オケル チョウキカン ノ ジハツソウ ウンドウ ト カロリー セイゲン ガ メス ラット コッカクキン ノ サイボウ ナイ シグナル デンタツ ニ オヨボス エイキョウ"}]}],"dataSourceIdentifier":[{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.3390/nu13072473"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1111/ggi.15015_references_DOI_XM67LO49tUU4zLNhnZ2atrrWwPZ"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.7600/jspfsm.74.155_references_DOI_XM67LO49tUU4zLNhnZ2atrrWwPZ"},{"@type":"CROSSREF","@value":"10.1507/endocrj.ej24-0315_references_DOI_XM67LO49tUU4zLNhnZ2atrrWwPZ"}]}
