In middle adulthood, a person is most likely to lose an inch in height.

This happens because as we grow older, our bone density lessens (in the spinal column) which results to a collapsed vertebra. Another reason that people lose around an inch in height during middle adulthood is because joint cartilage in adults get exhausted.

The question given is incomplete, but I will try to answer the statement above. The answer is the loss of bone density or often called osteoporosis.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

Osteoporosis is a disease when bones slowly lose their density, so they become weak and vulnerable to fractures (broken bones). Osteoporosis most often causes fractures in the pelvis, spine, and wrist.

Symptoms of Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is known as a silent disease or silent disease because the person does not feel any symptoms until an accident such as a slip or fall causes a fracture.

Osteoporosis Causes and Risk Factors

Risk factors for osteoporosis include many conditions, some of which can be modified and some cannot be modified.

Modifiable risk factors:

  • Sex hormone. Low estrogen levels associated with perforated menstrual cycles or menopause can cause osteoporosis in women. Whereas in men, low testosterone levels can cause osteoporosis. This can be modified with changes in diet and also hormonal therapy.
  • Anorexia nervosa. In anorexia nervosa, the body does not get the proper nutrition, so it lacks the components needed to maintain bone density.
  • Consuming less calcium and vitamin D can cause bones to become brittle.
  • The use of certain drugs.
  • Lack of physical activity.
  • Smoke.
  • Alcohol.

Risk factors that cannot be modified:

  • Gender. Women are more prone to osteoporosis than men.
  • Age. As a degenerative disease, osteoporosis affects individuals with advanced age around 40 years and over.
  • Small and thin body size in women.
  • Women with Caucasian and Asian ethnicity have the highest risk compared to Hispanic and black women.
  • Family history of osteoporosis.

SIZIF [17.4K]

The correct answer is B) Federalism.

Dividing power between the state and national levels is known as "Federalism."

The framers believed in the principle of Federalism that is the system of government where power is divided between a central government and regional governments. The framers of the U.S. Constitution granted some faculties to the national government and granted others to the states.

The framers respected the states because they were already functioning one way or the other the people of that time were font to their states.

In other words, when we talk about United States politics, the principle of federalism refers to that the power of the government is shared by the state governments and the federal government.

This power functions under a system of checks and balances in which none of the branches of the government was more powerful than the other two. In the US government system, when federal law conflicts with state law, the federal law will win. This is included in the Constitution as the Supremacy Clause.

Alla [95]
The correct answer here would be the third option.

The Enlightenment movement and its supporters placed the highest value on the reason itself and they therefore challenged the established and traditional beliefs that were dominant at the time. The idea that people had fundamental rights that no government could break were critical for the future development of nations as was the idea that the government was for the people and the people had the right to chose their government.
