Macro partitioning
Protein intake proportion (20-30%) is not significantly associated with all-cause mortality in Korean adults, although it yields the longest warranty period for mortality exceeding 1%.
For Korean adults, the specific proportion of protein (20-30%) does not significantly impact all-cause mortality risk. However, since traditional Korean diets are high in plant-based proteins, focusing on plant protein sources may be beneficial, as animal protein has been linked to higher mortality in other studies.
There was no significant association between protein intake proportion and all-cause mortality.
Why this rating
Large cohort study, but the lack of statistical significance limits the strength of the conclusion regarding protein's specific role.
