Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Excess body weight is a well-established risk factor for OA, with 66 of adults with doctor-diagnosed arthritis being overweight or obese.

Answer to Question 2

B
As adults age, they are likely to want to add more salt to their food. This is to compensate for their diminished sense of taste due to loss of taste buds. Some older adults may choose to use salt substitutes to avoid using excess sodium; however, their use is not widespread.
