Branch of Dietetics dealing with health problem of elderly -

  • A.Geriatrics
  • B.Gerontology
  • C.Aging
  • D.Elderly education

Answer: A

The keyed answer is geriatrics.

Geriatrics is the branch of medicine and health care that deals with the diseases and health problems of the elderly, and geriatric nutrition is the part of dietetics that plans diets for them.

Gerontology is close, but it is the broader scientific study of ageing itself, its biological, psychological and social aspects, rather than the care of elderly people's health problems. 'Aging' is the process, not a branch of study, and elderly education is a field of adult learning.
