Learning Objectives:

• Identify the potential impact of variations in the rate of biological aging on biomarkers;
• Describe the impact of sarcopenia and obesity on physical function and metabolism with aging;
• List key factors in the modulation of protein synthesis in muscle; and
• Explain the potential impact of protein supplementation with different sources and amounts of protein on aging and age-related chronic disease risks.
