Question 1

What type of calcium supplement contains the highest amount of calcium per dose?&#10;A)calcium carbonate&#10;B)calcium lactate&#10;C)calcium citrate&#10;D)calcium phosphate

Accepted Answer

Calcium carbonate contains the highest amount of elemental calcium per dose, with around 40% of elemental calcium. This means that a smaller dose of calcium carbonate would provide higher amounts of calcium compared to other forms such as calcium citrate or phosphate.

Question 2

As adults age, bone density declines.

Accepted Answer

As adults age, their bone density naturally decreases, putting them at a higher risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures.

Question 3

The only way to obtain adequate calcium and vitamin D is to use supplements.

Accepted Answer

Adequate calcium and vitamin D can be obtained through a balanced diet that includes dairy products or non-dairy alternative sources of calcium, as well as exposure to sunlight for vitamin D synthesis. Supplements may be necessary for individuals who cannot meet their needs through diet and sunlight alone, but they are not the only way to obtain adequate calcium and vitamin D.

Question 4

Dowager's hump is one characteristic of&#10;A)fluorosis.&#10;B)osteoporosis.&#10;C)rickets.&#10;D)the female athlete triad.

Accepted Answer

Dowager's hump is a common feature of osteoporosis, a condition in which the bones become thin, brittle, and prone to fractures. The hump is formed by the collapse of the vertebrae in the upper back, causing the spine to curve forward and creating a visible bump. Fluorosis is a condition caused by excessive intake of fluoride, rickets is a condition caused by vitamin D deficiency in children, and the female athlete triad is a syndrome characterized by disordered eating, menstrual dysfunction, and decreased bone density in female athletes.

Question 5

Fifty percent of Americans with osteoporosis are men.

Accepted Answer

While it is true that men can also develop osteoporosis, it is estimated that only about 20% of Americans with osteoporosis are men. The majority of cases occur in women, particularly those who have gone through menopause.

Question 6

Death rates due to hip fractures are higher in women than in men.

Accepted Answer

The answer of Death rates due to hip fractures are...

Question 7

Hormone replacement therapy reduces the risk for hip and spinal fractures.

Accepted Answer

Hormone replacement therapy has been shown to increase bone density and decrease the risk for hip and spinal fractures in postmenopausal women. However, there are also potential risks and side effects associated with hormone replacement therapy, so it should be carefully considered and discussed with a healthcare provider.

Question 8

Which of the following is NOT associated with the female athlete triad?&#10;A)hypertension&#10;B)eating disorder&#10;C)osteoporosis&#10;D)amenorrhea

Accepted Answer

Hypertension is not typically associated with the female athlete triad, which consists of disordered eating, amenorrhea, and osteoporosis. Hypertension is more common in individuals with high body mass index or obesity.

Question 9

In women, the risk of osteoporosis increases with menopause due to the loss of the hormone&#10;A)insulin.&#10;B)thyroid.&#10;C)estrogen.&#10;D)progesterone.

Accepted Answer

Estrogen plays a critical role in maintaining bone density, and the decrease in estrogen production during menopause can lead to an increased risk of osteoporosis.

Question 10

What is the primary reason osteoporosis incidence in the United States is expected to increase?&#10;A)inadequate treatment options&#10;B)increased diagnostic tools&#10;C)increased longevity of the population&#10;D)decline in milk consumption

Accepted Answer

The primary reason osteoporosis incidence in the United States is expected to increase is due to the increased longevity of the population. As people age, their bones become more brittle and are at higher risk for fracture, leading to a higher incidence of osteoporosis. Additionally, with advances in medical technology and treatment options, including increased diagnostic tools, there are ways to better detect and manage osteoporosis, reducing the impact of decline in milk consumption as a risk factor.
