Exercise programs for people with dementia
TL;DR: A benefit of exercise programs on the ability of people with dementia to perform ADLs is found in six trials with 289 participants, and a meta-analysis revealed that there was no clear evidence of benefit from exercise on cognitive functioning.

TL;DR: The CERT, a 16-item checklist developed by an international panel of exercise experts, is designed to improve the reporting of exercise programs in all evaluative study designs and contains 7 categories: materials, provider, delivery, location, dosage, tailoring, and compliance.
Exercise and nutritional interventions for improving aging muscle health
TL;DR: Additional research is needed to determine whether skeletal muscle adaptations to increased activity in older adults are further enhanced with effective nutritional interventions and whether this is due to enhanced muscle protein synthesis, improved mitochondrial function, and/or a reduced inflammatory response.

TL;DR: In this paper, an international renowned team of research experts was formed to perform an evidence-based scientific evaluation of the literature regarding the efficacy and safety of creatine supplementation, and they found that creatine is relatively well tolerated, especially at recommended dosages (i.e., 3-5 g/day or 1 g/kg of body mass/day).
Effectiveness of Creatine Supplementation on Aging Muscle and Bone: Focus on Falls Prevention and Inflammation

TL;DR: Accumulating evidence suggests that exogenous creatine supplementation has the potential to increase aging muscle mass, muscle performance, and decrease the risk of falls and possibly attenuate inflammation and loss of bone mineral.
