Creatine monohydrate for lean mass, strength, and bone densi...

최근 학술지에 게재된 연구에 따르면, Menopause is accompanied by accelerated losses in muscle mass and strength and declining bone density. Whether creatine monohydrate benefits postmenopausal women are uncertain. 연구진은 메타분석를 통해 We systematically reviewed randomized, placebo-controlled trials examining creatine supplementation, with or without resistance training (RT), in postmenopausal women. MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web o 그 결과, Seven RCTs (n = 608 randomized; duration 12-104 weeks, median 38 weeks) enrolled postmenopausal women (mean age ≈ 62 y). Lean mass (k = 5; n = 338) favored creatine: mean difference (MD) + 0.37 kg (95% CI + 0.05 to + 0.69; I² = 25%; τ² = 0.01; 95% PI -0.10 to + 0.84). Leg-press 1RM (k = 3; n = 111) improved with creatine: MD + 7.5 kg (95% CI + 2.2 to + 12.8; I² = 0%). Benefits were evident wh 연구팀은 "In postmenopausal women, creatine, particularly ≥ 5 g·day⁻¹ with RT, yields small but meaningful gains in lean mass and strength without evidence of harm. Effects on bone density remain unclear.Registration: This review was not prospectively regis"라고 결론지었다. 이번 연구의 의의는 다수의 연구를 통합해 신뢰성을 높였다. 다만 연구진은 장기적 효과는 추가 연구가 필요하다고 밝혔다.
