Why Muscle Strength is Important in Aging Strong muscles are key to living independently and comfortably as we age. That is why taking care of our muscles is essential for healthy aging. Some estimates place muscle mass loss around 10% each decade after 30 years, and this rate of muscle loss increases after the age of 60.

Muscle mass is an important modifiable lifestyle habit essential for proper metabolic, cardiovascular, and neurological function. Therefore, strategies to support normal muscle restoration after resistance training while promoting muscle strength may help promote homeostasis. Proteins may be consumed as amino acids (e.g.,

This suggests that creatine plus resistance training can help women promote their muscle mass and potentially attenuate age-related declines in strength. Supporting Bone Health Creatine, best known for muscle support, may also benefit bone health. Thus, creatines effects on body composition may be considered favorable.
