This is a continuation of a long topic, addressed by post number rather than by page. Start at post 1.
On post #30 — agreed on the reasoning, with one qualification.
Older adults: sarcopenia risk is higher, polypharmacy is common, and the clinical trials did not enroll many people over 75. Extrapolating to very old people is extrapolating beyond the data.
Thank you for taking the time. That was more work than a reply usually is.
The bit of Athletes in weight-category sports that nobody enjoys is that the answer changes depending on what you are trying to decide with it. Say what the decision is and the thread will converge.
I have three months of notes on Athletes in weight-category sports and the honest summary is that the trend is real and the week-to-week numbers are noise. I nearly drew the opposite conclusion from the first fortnight.
Reframing Athletes in weight-category sports slightly, because I think the disagreement is about the question rather than the answer. If the question is "does it happen", yes. If it is "how often", nobody here knows.
Post #37 answers the question as asked. The question underneath it is different.
Nothing in this subcategory is medical advice and the questions asked here are precisely the ones that need an individual assessment.
Good question, well framed, and I would like to see it answered properly.
The documentation on Athletes in weight-category sports is better than this thread and I say that as someone who has posted in the thread.
Athletes in weight-category sports is well covered in the tag pages, and the older discussions are better than the recent ones because they were argued out properly. Worth twenty minutes before adding to this one.
Everything in post #41 holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have.
Being outside the studied population does not mean a treatment is unsafe. It means the usual evidence is not available and the reasoning has to be explicit.
