Question 15

Given the eight primary functions of protein in the body,explain why an individual consuming a diet deficient in protein is at increased risk for infection and for death from infectious disease.

Accepted Answer

Proteins play a crucial role in the immune system, which is responsible for defending the body against infections. The eight primary functions of protein in the body include providing structure and support for cells, acting as enzymes to facilitate chemical reactions, transporting molecules throughout the body, regulating gene expression, and serving as antibodies to fight off pathogens.

When an individual consumes a diet deficient in protein, their immune system may become compromised. This is because proteins are necessary for the production of antibodies, which are essential for recognizing and neutralizing harmful pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. Without an adequate supply of protein, the body may struggle to mount an effective immune response, making the individual more susceptible to infections.

Furthermore, protein deficiency can also lead to a weakened physical state, making it harder for the body to fight off infections. This can increase the risk of developing severe complications from infectious diseases, and ultimately, increase the risk of death from these diseases.

In summary, a diet deficient in protein can impair the immune system's ability to defend the body against infections, leading to an increased risk of infection and a higher likelihood of death from infectious diseases. Therefore, it is crucial for individuals to consume an adequate amount of protein to support their immune function and overall health.
