How older adults digest protein after weight loss surgery
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study looks at how well older adults break down protein after bariatric surgery. It compares people who had surgery one to ten years ago with those who didn't, to understand protein needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 65 or older (or 18-65 if you're in a younger comparison group).

This study looks at why some people lose more weight and improve their health more than others after bariatric surgery. It also has a subgroup that specifically studies people who are insulin resistant (a sign of prediabetes) to see how surgery affects their metabolism.
This study tests whether a structured diet workshop, held about 15 days after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, helps patients with their post-surgery eating plans. You may be invited to join the workshop if you are scheduled for surgery and can attend as required.
This trial compares plant-based protein sources to animal-based ones to see which better helps older adults with obesity and early muscle loss improve strength and health. It aims to find the best protein for protecting metabolism and building muscle.
This trial tests whether taking extra protein and doing resistance training helps people keep their muscle mass after bariatric surgery (stomach reduction or gastric bypass). If you're scheduled for this surgery and can follow the program, you may be able to join.
This study looks at how digestion works after weight-loss surgery. Volunteers may be people with obesity or those who had gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy at least a year ago. The goal is to learn more about gut function after surgery.
This study looks at how much protein you need after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. It will help find the right amount of protein to keep your body healthy after weight-loss surgery.
