NCT ID NCT02062086
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new technique that uses a special form of creatine (deuterated creatine) to measure muscle mass more directly and accurately in older adults. The goal was to see if this method works well in both healthy older adults and those recovering from a hip fracture. The study was stopped early, but it aimed to improve how we track muscle loss in aging.
