What is being tested?
The study tests the effects of a pulse-protein-based diet compared to a traditional meat-based diet on various health markers in older adults. It aims to see if this plant-based diet can improve long-term health outcomes by analyzing around 500 different biomarkers.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since the intervention involves dietary changes, side effects may include digestive adjustments such as bloating or gas when introducing pulses into the diet. However, no specific side effects are listed as it's based on healthy lifestyle changes.
