Adult men and women require the same amount of which dietary reference?

Calcium
Vitamin D
Protein
Iron

The correct answer is: Calcium

The reason why option A, Calcium, is the correct answer is because the recommended daily intake of calcium for adult men and women is the same. Both men and women need about 1000mg of calcium per day for good bone health. Option B, Vitamin D, may also seem like a valid answer as it is needed for the absorption of calcium, but the actual recommended daily intake may vary for men and women. Similar differences can be seen for options C and D, Protein and Iron, as the recommended daily intake for these may vary based on gender and other factors. Therefore, option A, Calcium, is the best dietary reference for both adult men and women.
