Explanation:

Question 4:

Aging - related changes (like sensory, physiological, etc.) are highly individualized; different people experience different changes at different rates/severities. So the statement "Changes associated with aging can vary for each person" is true.

• "Increased sensitivity of the taste buds" is incorrect; aging often reduces taste bud sensitivity.
• "Enhanced sense of smell" is incorrect; aging typically diminishes the sense of smell.
• "Increased sense of salty and sweet" is incorrect; taste perception (including for salty/sweet) often declines with age.
• "Changes in the bones of the jaw affecting denture fit" is a normal age - related change (bone resorption in the jaw occurs with aging, impacting denture fit and potentially nutrition if eating is affected due to poor denture fit).

Answer:

TRUE
