Creatine Monohydrate Supplementation for Older Adults and Clinical Populations
No full textBackground: The biological process of aging is typically associated with a decrease in muscle quantity, muscle performance (primarily strength), bone mass and architecture, functionality and neurological/cognitive function. From a healthy aging perspective, interventions that have the potential to overcome or attenuate these decrements are clinically relevant.
Methods: We conducted a narrative review on the efficacy of creatine monohydrate supplementation (CrM) in older adults. Results: Accumulating research shows that CrM, primarily when combined with exercise training, is safe and has beneficial effects on measures of whole-body lean body mass, regional muscle size, muscle strength, bone area and thickness, functional ability, glucose kinetics, cognition and memory.
Conclusion: CrM has multiple benefits in older adults and may have application for treating age-related sarcopenia, osteoporosis, frailty, and those with metabolic and neuromuscular disorders

Does Woody Encroachment in Eastern Iowa CRP Fields Depend on Age or Surrounding Forest Cover?
No full textHistorically, tallgrass prairie covered approximately 85% of Iowa’s landscape. Today, Iowa has experienced the most extensive land conversion and destruction of native habitats, with nearly all of the biodiversity from the native prairie converted to private cropland. This transformation has led to declines in water and soil quality, as well as losses in plant and animal genetic diversity. The Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) incentivizes farmers to remove land from production and restore it to tallgrass prairie, but these restorations face a growing threat: woody encroachment. Invasive woody species can expand rapidly, with densities increasing over a relatively short period of time, thereby reducing the ecological value of the prairie. To investigate this issue, we surveyed CRP fields by walking transects to collect precise data on the woody stem presence, density, and diameter. Our study hypothesized that woody stem density and diameter would be positively associated with field age and the extent of surrounding forest cover. Woody plants were detected in 75% of our surveyed sites. Out of the 75% of woody plants detected, 63% were Morus alba, 11% were Acer saccharum, and 7% were Populus deltoides. These findings suggest that woody encroachment is widespread across CRP restoration and is dominated by a few species. This research provides valuable insights for land managers and farmers who want to maintain prairie integrity, while also highlighting the need for targeted management strategies to prevent woody encroachment and preserve the ecological benefits of tallgrass prairie restorations.
