Q

Which of the following is not a behavioural risk factor for health conditions
- nutrition and sleep
- environment
- psychosocial aspects
- functional capacity

A
  • inactivity not functional capacity
17
Q

What does BMI >30 predict

A

ADL issues 5 years earlier

18
Q

T/F People with high BMI are at risk for frailty and sarcopenia

A

false, those are risks of low BMI. High BMI is risk for functional decline

19
Q

What is the cutoff between sarcopenia obesity and obesity

A

there isn’t one

20
Q

T/F physical inactivity is the most common behavioural risk factor in obesity

A

T

21
Q

T/F loss of lean muscle mass isn’t associated with inactivity

A

F, it is

22
Q

Which of the following does not decrease with age?
- sleep time
- sleep efficiency
- sleep latency

A

sleep latency increases (longer to fall asleep)

23
Q

What amount of sleep decreased function and increases mortality

A

less thant 6-7h

24
Q

what environmental factor does not affect successful aging
- proximity to gym
- temperature fluctuations
- mobility barriers
- pollution (respiratory)

A

pollution (respiratory), temperature fluctuations, mobility barriers

25
Q

What psychosocial factor predicts frailty

A

depression

26
Q

Which of the following is false about dietary restriction interventions for successful aging
- leads to weight loss and increase muscle quality
- reduces pain and fatigue
- healthy mitochondria and proper redox state
- may increase inflammaging
- enhances cellular control

A

3, decreases inflammaging

27
Q

What is the only intervention that consistently shows improvement in functional decline

A

PA

28
Q

T/F PA intervention has low inter-individual variability

A

F

29
Q

What cognitive training helps to slow cognitive decline

A

thinking and memory skill games

30
Q

Why is exergaming a double benefit

A

it helps both physical and cognitive aspects

31
Q

what aspects does exergaming improve

A

CVD risk, balance and mood

32
Q

Which of the following interventions shows mixed evidence but may be effective in adjunction with others?
- brain simulation
- pharmaceutical
- nutraceutical
- hormonal

A
