ImpactModerate impact

The overall tone suggests that the publication is seen as potentially influential, but some call for more evidence, indicating a budding recognition of its importance.

Abstract in brief

  • Creatine supplementation can help older adults increase muscle mass and strength, especially when combined with resistance training, and this benefit applies regardless of sex, fitness level, or health status, though more research on very old and frail individuals is needed.
  • Its effects on bone health are less clear, with inconsistent results, and further studies with larger sample sizes and longer durations are necessary to better understand how creatine influences bone remodeling and structure.
  • Some evidence suggests creatine might improve cognitive function in stressful or resting states, but research specifically focusing on older adults, especially those with existing cognitive decline, is limited and shows mixed findings.]
