    d) Elderly people with low incomes

    Question 8

    Vitamin D deficiency can often be found as a single nutrient deficiency, that is, in an otherwise well-nourished person. The main reason this can
    happen is because:

    a) Foods containing large amounts of vitamin D are eaten by both poor and wealthy people according to various cultural reasons.
    b) The content of vitamin D in foods depends on the soil in which the food was grown so is not related to wealth or age.
    c) Most vitamin D in the body does not come from food so access to food is not an important determinant of vitamin D status.
    d) Diets containing sufficient other nutrients to promote growth can increase the requirement of vitamin D so that it becomes limiting.

    Question 9

    Which of the following is not a reason for increased risk of vitamin or mineral deficiencies among older people in high income countries?

    a) Low income so decreased ability to purchase nutrient-rich foods


    b) Decreased mobility and little time spend outdoors in the sunshine
    c) Decreased intrinsic factor in the stomach
    d) High nutrient requirements for tissue turnover

    Question 10

    Diagnosis of iron deficiency can be complicated by concurrent infection since many markers of iron status are altered by infection. Which of the
    following combinations of iron status markers is likely to be found in a person with both iron deficiency and a severe infection?

    a) Low haemoglobin, high ferritin, high serum transferrin receptors, high hepcidin
    b) Low haemoglobin, low ferritin, high serum transferrin receptors, low hepcidin
    c) Low haemoglobin, low ferritin, normal serum transferrin receptors, high hepcidin
    d) Low haemoglobin, low ferritin, low serum transferrin receptors, high hepcidin
