................ is a common phenomena in old age.

  • A.Insomnia
  • B.Increase in Height
  • C.Menarche
  • D.Substance Abuse

Answer: A

The common phenomenon in old age is insomnia.

With ageing, sleep becomes lighter and more broken: older adults take longer to fall asleep, wake more often at night and wake earlier, and pain, medicines, frequent urination and depression add to the problem. Difficulty in falling or staying asleep is therefore very common in the elderly.

Height decreases, not increases, in old age, as the spinal discs thin and posture stoops. Menarche is the first menstruation, an event of puberty. Substance abuse occurs in old age but is not a common feature of it.
