Is Protein Intake worth prioritizing?

Multiple systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and expert position papers (including PROT-AGE and ESPEN guidelines) consistently support higher dietary protein intake for preserving muscle mass and function in older adults, particularly to counteract sarcopenia and protect lean mass during weight loss. Weighing that against the numbers, Protein Intake is worth watching rather than prioritizing yet — the potential upside is rated high (55/100), but the evidence supporting it is only moderate (58/100).
