Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: Calcium is needed for mineralization of bones and teeth. Lead toxicity can lead to learning disabilities, behavior problems, and slow growth. Lead toxicity is more prominent among children living in poverty. Adequate intakes of calcium and vitamin D are essential for mineralization of bones and teeth. Iron deficiency is associated with negative effects on cognitive function.

Feedback:
