Answer: A) Cold

Explanation:

The skin is the epidermal tissue that covers the inner body lining. As one ages the skin produces less collagen, The collagen is the building block of the skin it prevents the skin from wrinkles, loss of moisture, prevents the heat loss and sagging.

The subcutaneous tissues are also called as hypodermis. It is the innermost layer of the skin. The subcutaneous tissue is composed of fat and connective tissues that consists of blood vessels and nerves. The subcutaneous tissues act as insulator that helps in maintaining the body temperature.

The thinning of the subcutaneous layer of fat will make the body sensitive  towards the action of cold. In older adults the subcutaneous fat under the skin decreases considerably thus the older adults become susceptible to cold.

Answer: program adherence, weight is an indirect measure

Explanation:

Program adherence is also called exercise compliance or adherence and it is used in describing how a patient is sticking to his or her exercise program and following the recommendations by their personal trainer or health professional.

With regards to the question, if the behavior of interest is program adherence, weight is an indirect measure. This is because weight in this case is used as a means to determine the calories burned and other vital components to be known. Weight is an indirect measure because we are really not interested in knowing the weight, it's just a means to an end.
