Question 9

To determine the age - related change in older adults impacting nutrition, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Older adults' metabolism slows down, so caloric requirements decrease, not increase. Eliminate this.
• Option 2: As people age, the sense of taste and smell often diminishes. This can reduce appetite and impact food choices, thus affecting nutrition.
• Option 3: The stomach of older adults becomes less elastic and holds less food, not more. Eliminate this.
• Option 4: Older adults' ability to taste salty foods typically decreases, not increases. Eliminate this.

To find a way organizations can help overcome barriers to physical activity:

• Option 1: Requiring daily strenuous exercise would be a barrier, not a solution, as older adults or those with limitations may struggle. Eliminate this.
• Option 2: Addressing challenges like pain or fatigue with low - impact activities provides accessible options, helping people be more physically active.
• Option 3: Limiting on - site activity options would reduce opportunities for physical activity, not help. Eliminate this.
• Option 4: Avoiding educating people on the benefits of physical activity would not help; education can motivate participation. Eliminate this.

Answer:

Their sense of taste and smell decreases.
