Older adults need more protein per kg of body weight than younger adults do, just to maintain the same muscle — but intake often quietly falls short. In a meta-analysis pooling several studies of older adults, higher protein intake was linked to a third lower odds of frailty (Coelho-Júnior et al., Nutrients, 2018).
This check screens how often you're eating protein-rich foods across a typical week.
There isn't yet a short, validated protein screener built for Singapore's diet. So this adapts the method behind the Protein Screener 55+ (a validated Dutch tool) using food items confirmed relevant to Singapore's multi-ethnic diet from local dietary research. It's a directional guide, not a lab-grade measurement.
Think about a normal week for you — no right or wrong answers.
This is an informational screening tool, not a diagnosis. For a precise measurement of your protein intake, ask your doctor for a referral to a dietitian.
The scoring here is a simple, transparent frequency count — not the original Pro55+ regression-based probability score, which was statistically calibrated on Dutch data and can't be reused with substituted foods. Treat this as a directional screen, not a validated clinical measurement.
