Creatine may help older adults mitigate declines in physical or mental capacity.

“People talk about when they get older from a health standpoint, they don't want to be a burden. And that always when you unpack it, it is round, "I don't want for somebody to have to take care of me because my physical capacity has gone down or that my mental capacity has gone down." They all fear that. So it's dementia and then it's physical inability to do things. And so I say, "Well, you're here working on the physical ability. But you're working on the dementia too." And they say, "Well, what else can I do?" I say, "Well, here's a list of, sort of, things." But by no means a dementia expert, but creatine might be something that older people might want to talk about for sure.”
