A 12-week trial in 108 adults 55+ found both vegetarian and omnivorous diets built muscle — but non-inferiority wasn't proven and vegetarian protein was lower.

A 12-week trial found creatine raised lean mass by about 1.1 kg (2.4 lb) without exercise — but the estimate was imprecise and exercise status self-selected.

A 14-trial meta-analysis found higher step counts tracked with more weight kept off — but 8,500 steps was the average walked, not a proven target.
