A 12-week online intervention combining tailored protein intake counseling with progressive resistance training improves physical function, muscle strength, and health-related quality of life in older cancer survivors compared to general education and stretching.
If you are an older cancer survivor experiencing physical weakness, consider a program that combines specific dietary advice on protein intake with structured resistance exercises. This study protocol suggests that doing this online with professional guidance for 12 weeks may help improve your strength and quality of life, though results are not yet available.
The E-PROOF (E-intervention for Protein Intake and Resistance Training to Optimize Function) study will implement and assess the efficacy of the first online dietary and resistance training intervention to improve OCS’ physical function and improve associated health outcomes (muscle strength, dietary quality, health-related quality of life, self-efficacy, weight management).
Why this rating
This is a study protocol; no results, effect sizes, or statistical significance data are available.

- Bariatric surgery (VSG and RYGB) is the most effective and sustainable treatment for obesity, producing marked and sustained weight loss that non-surgical interventions cannot match.Strong
- Severely protein-deficient diets (2–3% energy) induce lean body mass loss and metabolic imbalance, whereas adequate protein intake (0.66 g/kg/d minimum) is a prerequisite for maintaining muscle, bone, and physiological function.Strong
- For patients with Class III obesity (BMI >39.9 kg/m2), metabolic bariatric surgery (MBS) is significantly more effective than any currently approved medication, with BilioPancreatic Diversion (BPD) showing the highest estimated weight loss.Strong
