ABBOTT PARK, Ill., July 29, 2021<\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0A new study conducted by The Ohio State University<\/span> and Abbott (NYSE: ABT) showed that half of the adults surveyed living with diabetes did not consume the daily recommended intake of protein, which is associated with lower diet quality, increased carbohydrate intake, and greater physical limitations. The study highlights protein intake as an essential and often overlooked consideration in meeting the nutritional needs of people living with diabetes and its importance in supporting strength and mobility. \u00a0<\/p>\n

“We’ve long studied the impact of sugar consumption in people living with diabetes, but new data shed light on the critical association between low protein intake and diabetes,” said Christopher Taylor<\/span>, Ph.D. R.D., lead researcher, and professor of Medical Dietetics at The Ohio State University<\/span> School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. “Diabetes is associated with a risk for developing low muscle mass, which can lead to falls and other injuries. That’s why protein consumption\u2014and awareness of the need for it\u2014is critical to maintaining muscle mass and preserving functional mobility, which can help people living with diabetes live stronger overall lives.”<\/p>\n

Published in\u00a0the scientific journal of human nutrition, Nutrients<\/a>,<\/i>\u00a0the retrospective cross-sectional analysis examined data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected between 2005 and 2016 from more than 23,000 adults in the U.S. Key findings from the analysis include:<\/p>\n
