The correct answers are:

  • are homebound.
  • have kidney, liver, or intestinal diseases.
  • have covered skin for religious reasons.

Explanation:

  1. Consume dairy products daily: This option is incorrect. Dairy products are a good source of calcium and vitamin D, which are essential for bone health. Regular consumption of dairy products can help prevent osteomalacia.

  2. Are homebound: This option is correct. Being homebound can limit exposure to sunlight, which is necessary for the body to produce vitamin D. A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to osteomalacia.

  3. Have kidney, liver, or intestinal diseases: This option is correct. These diseases can interfere with the body's ability to absorb or metabolize vitamin D and calcium, increasing the risk of osteomalacia.

  4. Have covered skin for religious reasons: This option is correct. Covering the skin can reduce exposure to sunlight, leading to a deficiency in vitamin D, which can contribute to the development of osteomalacia.

Summary: Adults who are homebound, have kidney, liver, or intestinal diseases, or have covered skin for religious reasons are at higher risk for osteomalacia. Regular consumption of dairy products, on the other hand, can help prevent this condition.
