Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The research tells us that it is not age itself which determines chronic health and increased healthcare spending, but rather multiple health conditions. This means that as we get older, we are more likely to have multiple chronic health conditions which can lead to increased healthcare spending. Option A is incorrect because research shows that the vast majority of elderly people have multiple health conditions, making it unlikely that most people between the ages of 75 and 80 do not have a chronic health condition. Option D is also incorrect because chronic health conditions can be affected by lifestyle factors, such as smoking or a poor diet.
