The Claim
In non-diabetic and non-anemic females, erythrocyte creatine levels exhibit a positive correlation with age during adolescence (R = 0.557, p < 0.001), whereas no such age-related change is observed in males, indicating a sex-specific post-pubertal increase in erythrocyte creatine that is independent of glycemic markers such as HbA1c.
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.
In teenage girls who don’t have diabetes or anemia, red blood cell creatine goes up as they get older, especially after puberty—but this doesn’t happen in boys. This rise isn’t linked to blood sugar levels.

In non-diabetic and non-anemic females, erythrocyte creatine levels increase with age during adolescence, showing a positive correlation (R = 0.557, p < 0.001), while no such age-related change is observed in males, suggesting a sex-specific post-pubertal elevation in erythrocyte creatine that is unrelated to glycemic markers like HbA1c.
What the research says
1 studyThe study found that red blood cell creatine goes up in teenage girls as they get older, but not in boys, and this isn't related to blood sugar levels—just like the claim says.
