Habitual EAA, leucine, lysine, and SAA intakes, covaried with physical activity level and usual protein intake, were not associated with lean mass, muscle strength, or physical function in adults ≥65 y. However, EAA intakes, particularly lysine, were positively associated with measures of adiposity in older females.This trial was registered with the Open Science Framework (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/25V63) as osf.io/25v63).
