Question

at which of the following ages would calcium loss from bone be more than calcium deposits into bone, even when a high calcium diet is eaten? multiple choice 18 months old 10 years old 18 years old 50 years old 25 years old

Explanation:

As people age, bone - remodeling processes change. After around 30 - 35 years of age, bone resorption (calcium loss) starts to exceed bone formation (calcium deposition) even with a high - calcium diet. Among the given options, 50 years old is the age when this is most likely to occur. Younger ages like 18 months, 10 years, 18 years, and 25 years are in growth or peak bone - mass phases where calcium deposition is more prominent.

Answer:

D. 50 years old
