Answer:

Dementia

Explanation:

Dementia is a condition that involves impaired mental ability and memory which is common among older adults. This condition, which is a major contributor to disability and placement of older adults in nursing homes, can be as a result of several factors of which nutrition has a major role to play. Metabolic and endocrine problem that results to the inability of the body system to regulate nutrients such as calcium and vitamin B-12, are some of the factors that triggers dementia in older adults. Also, nutritional deficiencies such as dehydration, inadequate intake of vitamin B-1, vitamins B-6, copper,vitamin E, and vitamin B-12 increases the chances of developing dementia in older adults.

Research shows that low levels of vitamin D can be linked to increased risk of developing dementia, and as such, supplements such as B-complex vitamin, vitamin C, and vitamin D is usually recommended for the prevention of dementia, especially when they are deficient in the diets taken.

Where is the majority of negative charge on the water molecule?
rusak2 [61]
 A water molecule (H2O) will have a slightly positive side, and a slightly negative side. The oxygen side of water is the one that is negative, while hydrogen side tends to be more positive. When a molecule has a half negative and half positive side like water does, it is called a polar molecule. :D
