According to the article, what is NOT listed as a critical aspect affecting the functionality and health of older workers?

Decreased cognitive ability
Loss of muscle strength
Increased prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders
Reduced vocational training opportunities

The correct answer is: Reduced vocational training opportunities

Losing muscle strength and having increased prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders are two important physical aspects that can impact the health and functionality of older workers. Decreased cognitive ability is also a critical factor that can affect their ability to perform at work. However, reduced vocational training opportunities, while potentially limiting their ability to learn new skills, is not listed as a critical aspect affecting the functionality and health of older workers in the article. This is because while training can be helpful, it is not considered as essential to the overall well-being and functionality of older workers compared to the other listed factors.
