The study methodology is qualitative, descriptive, where strategies of documentary analysis of scientific articles, postgraduate theses, clinical cases, bibliographic reviews were applied, for which the following keywords related to the topic were used: “sarcopenia, diet, supplementation, older adult, muscle mass”. The results indicate that providing sufficient protein and combined with exercise allows maintaining muscle mass and counteracting muscle loss, promoting growth and repair. The recommended amount of protein is 1.2 to 2 grams per kilogram of body weight per day in older adults. It is significant to distribute protein intake in a balanced way throughout the day, including high quality sources such as lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy and legumes.

In conclusion to a cattle farm population, which ignored the usefulness of calcium and foods that have this mineral, it turned out that the intake of calcium-rich foods supplemented with 500 mg of carbonate chewable calcium helped reduce the incidence of preeclampsia 55 pregnant women aged 16-40 years, from 5 to 10 % indicating the wHO to 3.6%, which is the main benefit, as during the study only 2 of the participants developed mild preeclampsia.
