Answer to Question 1

A
After menopause, decreased estrogen levels cause loss of bone density, which leads to osteopo-rosis. Risk of type 2 diabetes increases with age, especially if weight increases, but is not specif-ically related to menopause. Asthma is not related to menopause. Iron deficiency anemia de-creases after menopause because blood is no longer lost in menstruation.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C
Feedback:
Examples of fruits and vegetables that are easily consumed by people who have difficulty chewing include ripe bananas, baked winter squash, mashed potatoes, stewed tomatoes, baked apples, canned fruit, soft melon, citrus sections, and cooked carrots.
