Summary of Creatine Supplementation for Older Adults | Creatine Conference 2022

00:00:00 - 00:35:00

The presenter discusses the benefits of creatine supplementation for older adults, citing improvement in performance and increased muscle mass. Creatine supplementation has been shown to be beneficial for muscle mass and strength in older adults, as well as for cognitive function. It is important to dose creatine appropriately to avoid saturation of the muscle, and sex should be equated when dosing creatine to ensure that male and female populations are treated equally.

• 00:00:00 The speaker will discuss how creatine supplementation can help older adults maintain muscle mass and function. They will also mention that exercise is key to maintaining youth.
• 00:05:00 Creatine supplementation has been shown to increase muscle density and bone geometry in older adults. Resistance training is an important way to maintain muscle and bone mass and is beneficial for preventing musculoskeletal aging.
• 00:10:00 Creatine supplementation has been shown to be beneficial for muscle mass and strength in older adults, as well as for cognitive function. It is important to dose creatine appropriately to avoid saturation of the muscle, and sex should be equated when dosing creatine to ensure that male and female populations are treated equally.
• 00:15:00 Creatine supplementation is beneficial for increasing muscle mass in older adults, with no difference between young and older muscle. However, when looking at studies that focus on the lower body only, creatine seems to have a reduced effect in older adults.
• 00:20:00 Creatine supplementation appears to be beneficial for measures of lower body strength and muscle mass in older adults. This is due to the fact that they have reduced stores of creatine, which opens up the possibility for greater muscle growth and performance. However, resistance training is necessary for these benefits to be realized.
• 00:25:00 This video provides information about the potential benefits of creatine supplementation for older adults, including preserving bone density and reducing the rate of bone loss. A study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise in 2017 showed that creatine was able to preserve bone density in post-menopausal females over the age of 50. This suggests that creatine supplementation may have potential benefits for the prevention of bone fractures.
• 00:30:00 Creatine supplementation appears to have favorable effects on sarcopenia and bone in older adults, although the effects on frailty and disease are unknown.
• 00:35:00 The presenter discusses the benefits of creatine supplementation for older adults, citing improvement in performance and increased muscle mass.
