Question

Research suggests that older adults require ______ the current RDA for protein for adults.

1. more than
2. less than
3. the same amount as

Answer 1

1: More than

Step-by-step explanation:

As people get older, their body starts to deteriorate, and their functions are slowed down. A person who is 70 is much more fragile than someone in their 20s. The body of an elderly person starts to absorb less nutrients, as their body starts slowing down, therefore when you get older, it is natural to take some supplements or medication. Research suggests that older adults require more than the current RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) for protein for adults.
