DEHYDRATION CHARACTERISTICS IN ADULTS BASED ON PHYSICAL AND SUBCLINICAL ASSESSMENT
Main Article Content
Abstract
A cross-sectional study to describe the dehydration status based on daily water consumption, physical and subclinical signs on 35 adult subjects aged 18 years and older, from April 2024 to June 2025, showed the following results: The average water consumption was 1286.8 ± 371.9ml, of which the rate of water consumption less than 1200ml was 51.4 and not meeting the recommended needs was 57.1%. 14.3% of respondents had signs of dry lips, 34.3% had symptoms of constipation. The proportion of subjects with dehydration according to ALTT and BUN/Creatinine ratio was 5.7% and 28.6%, respectively. 71.4% of subjects were dehydrated as assessed by the Inbody 770. There was no statistically significant relationship between paraclinical methods, entities as well as water consumption and low total body water assessed with the Inbody 770.
