Question

Which of the following is NOT a myth associated with aging? O Aging does not necessarily imply cognitive decline, and older adults can maintain their mental functions. O We can stabilize the age of our population by increasing immigration. O Physical and mental capacity inevitably decline with biological aging. O In an aging society, the young and old are inevitably pitted against each other. O The biggest public problems facing an aging America stem from Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid.

Answer 1

C is correct answer.

Physical and mental capacity inevitably decline with biological aging is correct option.

Because of neuro degeneration there is inevitable mental capacity and muscular wasting. Also there is accumulation of fatty tissue, stiffness of blood vessels and low cardiac output that aids to the mental and physical decrease in capacity with aging.

If you are supposed to apply more than one answer you can include the last one too, if only one answer is required than the above mentioned one is correct answer.
