What T/T ratio indicates an essential fatty acid deficiency?

If T/T < .025
If T/T > .025
If T/T = 1.0
If T/T > 1.0

The correct answer is: If T/T > .025

A T/T ratio greater than 0.025 indicates an essential fatty acid deficiency. This ratio is an important indicator for assessing the levels of essential fatty acids in the body. When the body lacks essential fatty acids, the T/T ratio tends to increase, signaling a deficiency. Therefore, an elevated T/T ratio (>0.025) points towards an essential fatty acid deficiency. The other options are incorrect: - A T/T ratio less than 0.025 (Option A) does not signify an essential fatty acid deficiency. - A T/T ratio of 1.0 (Option C) does not indicate an essential fatty acid deficiency. - A T/T ratio greater than 1.0 (Option D) is also not indicative of an essential fatty acid deficiency.
