QUESTION

As the age of animal/human advances the following nutrient decrease?

OPTIONS

(A) Carbohydrate
(B) Protein
(C) Fat
(D) Vitamins

ANSWER

(B) Protein

EXPLANATION

As age advances, protein requirement relative to body weight generally decreases because growth and tissue accretion decline. Carbohydrate, fat, vitamins and other nutrients do not show the same general age-related decrease in requirement in the way protein for growth does.
