Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
DEXA measures both bone mineral density and fat and lean body mass. BIA measures fat and lean body mass but not bone mineral density. A measuring tape measures distance or length, and skinfold calipers are used to determine skinfold thickness.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Important nutritional features of the older years are a decrease in energy requirements as a result of loss of lean body mass, the most metabolically active tissue, and an increase in fat mass.
