The Claim
Creatine supplementation at a dosage of 0.14 g/kg/day for two years, combined with resistance training, has no effect on the incidence of hip fractures or falls in postmenopausal women, despite improving bone geometry and walking speed.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking creatine daily for two years along with strength training does not lower the number of hip fractures or falls in postmenopausal women, even though it improves bone structure and walking speed.
See the scientific wording
Creatine supplementation (0.14 g/kg/day) for two years with resistance training does not reduce the incidence of hip fractures or falls in postmenopausal women, despite improving bone geometry and walking speed.
Creatine gives muscle and bone cells more quick-access energy, making bones thicker in shape and walking faster, but these changes do not stop hips from breaking or people from falling.
What the research says
1 studyCreatine helped make women’s leg bones stronger and improved their walking speed, but the study didn’t track if that actually led to fewer falls or broken hips. Since the improvements happened without changing bone density, it supports the idea that creatine helps in other ways—but we still don’t know if it prevents fractures.
