Question 4

Aging - related changes are highly individualized; different people can experience different changes (e.g., in sensory, physiological, or functional aspects) at varying rates or severities. So the statement "Changes associated with aging can vary for each person" is true.

• "Increased sensitivity of the taste buds" is incorrect because aging typically leads to decreased taste bud sensitivity, not increased.
• "Enhanced sense of smell" is incorrect as aging often causes a decline in the sense of smell, not enhancement.
• "Increased sense of salty and sweet" is incorrect; aging - related changes in taste perception usually involve reduced ability to detect these tastes, not increased.
• "Changes in the bones of the jaw affecting denture fit" can disrupt nutrition. If dentures don't fit properly due to jaw bone changes (e.g., resorption of jaw bone over time), it can make chewing and eating difficult, which in turn affects a person's ability to consume a balanced diet and get proper nutrition.

TRUE
