Why is it incomplete to consider only age while estimating energy need?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Because weight, sex, activity and disease state also affect it
Age influences energy needs, but it is only one factor. Body weight and composition, sex, physical activity, growth, pregnancy, lactation, fever, infection, trauma and other disease conditions can raise or lower expenditure. Accurate estimation therefore requires a multi-factor assessment rather than an age-only rule.
