Answer:

"As you get older, absorption is prolonged and medications may take a little longer to act than normal". Aspirin in particular shall be given in large divided dose/ day to produce effect.

Explanation:

Aspirin is a blood thinning agent and does not produce strong analgesic action. Hence, it does not reduce intermittent joint pain in elderly patients. Moreover, elderly patients has a slower metabolism and takes longer time and a stronger dose to reduce high blood pressure.

Why do you think body composition focuses on the ratio of fatty tissue to other body tissue? Why is body composition not related
kykrilka [37]

Fat is a quite simple component to measure. Increased or above normal/ average body fat has been proven to be linked with many health risks.<span> <span>Body weight is not always an accurate indication of body composition. If you were to equate an NFL running back who is 5' 10" and weighs 200 lbs, to a 5'10" 200 lbs. banker, there body composition would be VERY unalike although there weight is exactly the same. Of course the football player is healthier, because he is perhaps carrying one third of the body fat as the banker of the same weight. Maintaining that muscle mass would also infer healthy habits like nutrition and exercise.</span></span>
