Older adults have a lower percentage body water |
||
Alcohol concentration in older adult is slower compared with a younger person |
Answer: Older adults have a lower percentage body water
Explanation:
Research shows that body water content decreases with age. Thus older adults have lower percentage body water.
Thus the first option is wrong because with increase in age, body water content will go down.
The second option is false because total body water varies with alcohol concentration and published literatures are present in public domain regarding that. The alcohol dehydrates the body by excreting water from blood through renal system.
The last option is false because in eldery adults, higher alcohol concentrations are found than in people younger than them.
