After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow.

In the year 2000, it was estimated that the number of new osteoporotic fractures in men and women ages 50 and older was 9.0 million: 1.6 million were at the hip, 1.7 million were at the forearm, and 1.4 million were from the spine and humerus. Consider the following data and answer the questions that follow.

Estimated Number of Fractures (in Thousands) Worldwide at the Sites Shown in Men and Women in the Year 2000

Hip18.24901,1371,627
Forearm18.53321,3281,660
Spine15.85548621,416

Compare the percentage of fractures in the hip, forearm, spine, and humerus in men and women combined to the percentage of fractures at other sites in men and women combined. What do you conclude?
◦ There are about 10% fewer fractures in the hip, forearm, spine, and humerus in men and women than in fractures at other sites in men and women.
◦ There are 100% fewer fractures in the hip, forearm, spine, and humerus in men and women than in fractures at other sites in men and women.
◦ There are about 50% more fractures in the hip, forearm, spine, and humerus in men and women than in fractures at other sites in men and women.
◦ There are about 20% more fractures in the hip, forearm, spine, and humerus in men and women than in fractures at other sites in men and women.

Now it is known that peptic ulcers are predominantly caused by Helicobacter pylori, a spiral-shaped bacterium that normally exist in the stomach.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
