The EAA-9 Score: Protein Quality Designed for Action

In 2024, Dr. Shavawn Forester presented "The EAA-9 Score: Protein Quality Designed for Action" at the RADISH conference hosted by Wageningen University. Presenting alongside Dr. Pol Grootswagers, an expert in nutrition and aging the session showcased the ideal nature of different protein quality scores and their respective appropriate uses. Dr. Forester highlighted the EAA-9 score as a practical, personalized tool for assessing protein quality and introduced the Protein Quality Hub, an open-access resource addressing gaps in protein digestibility data. These initiatives aim to advance dietary guidance, public health research, and collaboration in improving protein quality assessments.
