Hydration Status of Arabic Adolescents and Young Men: Measurement, Evaluation, and a School-based Initiative to Improve Drinking Behaviour.
BACKGROUND. Despite the importance of hydration, limited research has been undertaken in Arabic populations. METHODS: Study 1: 88 adult military cadets and 32 school-based adolescents provided five sequential daily mid-morning urine samples. Hydration thresholds were produced using percentiles of estimated urine osmolality (Uosm) and urine color (Ucol). Study 2: 120 military cadets and 52 adolescents [...]
Influence of Beverage Temperature on Palatability and Fluid Ingestion During Endurance Exercise: a systematic review.
BACKGROUND. Beverage palatability is known to influence fluid consumption during exercise and may positively influence hydration status and help to prevent fatigue, heat illness and decreased performance. PURPOSE: The aims of this review were to evaluate the effect of beverage temperature on fluid intake during exercise and investigate the influence of beverage temperature on palatability. [...]
Problem: thirst, drinking behavior, and involuntary dehydration.
The phenomenon of involuntary dehydration, the delay in full restoration of a body water deficit by drinking, has been described extensively but relatively little is known about its physiological mechanism. It occurs primarily in humans when they are exposed to various stresses including exercise, environmental heat and cold, altitude, water immersion, dehydration, and perhaps microgravity, singly and in various [...]
Hydration and performance during Ramadan.
In the absence of any food or fluid intake during the hours of daylight during the month of Ramadan, a progressive loss of body water will occur over the course of each day, though these losses can be completely replaced each night. Large body water deficits will impair both physical and cognitive performance. The point [...]
Italian Children Go to School with a Hydration Deficit.
Background and aims: Fluid requirements of children vary as a function of gender and age. To our knowledge, there is very little literature on the hydration status of Italian children. We assessed morning hydration status in a large sample of 515 Italian school children aged 9 to 11 years. Methods: Recruited children completed a questionnaire [...]
Promoting and maintaining healthy hydration in patients.
Fluid is essential for life and health. Nurses have an important role in helping patients maintain optimal levels of hydration, particularly in hospital or residential settings where access to fluid is less likely to be under the patient's control. This article describes the benefits of healthy hydration, outlines guidelines on fluid requirements for different patient [...]
Hydration, water intake and beverage consumption habits among adults.
Total water intake is seldom reported in dietary surveys and hydration status is rarely measured. Although adequate intake (AI) levels have been suggested by the European Food Safety Authority, the World Health Organization and the Institute of Medicine, uncertainties and confused messages abound regarding optimum intake. This paper reviews data on water intake internationally and [...]
The Influence of Personality and Health Beliefs on Maintaining Proper Hydration
The present study was designed to examine factors that could facilitate or impede adherence to proper hydration. Forty volunteers (20 male, 20 female) were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Informed Group (n = 20) and Uninformed Group (n = 20). Bioelectrical impedance was used to measure intracellular (ICW) and extracellular (ECW) body water [...]
