And while it may sound like a lot, we\u2019re not exactly great when it comes to holding onto it. Through perspiration, respiration, and urination, we experience an average loss of 70 ounces of water each day. This is, of course, why we replenish our fluids throughout the day. This may not be difficult for young or middle-age adults to do, but it can be trickier for seniors, due to certain age-related factors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because of this, seniors are more likely to become dehydrated, and face a greater risk of everything from falling to urinary tract infections, and even kidney failure. In this article, we\u2019ll explore the factors that influence hydration, the health consequences of dehydration, and steps seniors and caregivers can take to reduce the overall risk.<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>What Impacts Hydration for Seniors?<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As mentioned, losing water through biological processes is normal. However, as we age, we tend to lose more than usual because the body\u2019s ability to conserve water diminishes with time. Complicating matters even further, older adults\u2019 thirst signals aren\u2019t as efficient as they once were, making it difficult to know when to drink water. Dehydration can also result from:<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic urinary incontinence<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limited mobility<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limited access to clean water<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty swallowing<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory problems<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Medications, such as diuretics<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If left unchecked, dehydration can lead to a number of serious problems. In fact, it continues to be noted as one of the most frequent causes of hospitalization among older adults. Immediate problems can include seizures and heat stroke, but over time, dehydration can cause a reduction in blood volume, urinary tract infections (UTIs), pneumonia, and kidney failure. Given the severity of these problems, seniors should certainly recognize the importance of proper hydration, but it\u2019s also critical for them to understand that dehydration is <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> inevitable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Hydration Tips for Seniors<\/b><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sixty-four ounces of water \u2013 or eight 8-ounce glasses if it\u2019s easier to remember \u2013 is generally considered the standard when it comes to proper daily intake, but more may be needed depending on prescribed medications or health conditions.
