Total body water was determined on 59 boys and 59 girls and on 40 boys and 45 girls attending junior and senior high schools, respectively. The volunteers were studied for three years. They were given [...]
RESTORATION OF FLUID BALANCE AFTER EXERCISE-INDUCED DEHYDRATION: EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION
The effect of alcohol consumption on the restoration of fluid and electrolyte balance after exercise-induced dehydration [2.01 +/- 0.10% (SD) of body mass] was investigated. Drinks containing 0, 1, 2, and 4% alcohol were consumed [...]
IS THE IMPEDANCE INDEX (HT2/R) SIGNIFICANT IN PREDICTING TOTAL BODY WATER?
We investigated the general utility of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and the implications of BIA theory in populations of various ages from infancy to adulthood by developing a single impedance equation. Four subject data sets [...]
THE INFLUENCE OF AGE ON THE RENAL RESPONSE TO WATER DEPRIVATION IN MAN
Alterations in urine concentrating ability with age were examined in 98 active community-dwelling volunteers (aged 20-79 years) who were free from evidence of diseases known to adversely affect renal function. There was a significant decrease [...]
