Older adults can become dehydrated from not drinking enough water and other factors related to the aging process. Older adults are at a higher risk of dehydration than younger people. As elderly, the body's ability to regulate temperature decreases. Our sense of thirst also decreases as we age. The signs when the elderly lose body fluids can significantly affect the falls of the elderly.
CAUSES OF BODY FLUID LOSS IN THE ELDERLY
As people age, their level of body fat tends to increase, and the proportion of their body that is water - their body water content - tends to decrease. Therefore, an elderly person placed in the same environment as a non-elderly person will be more likely to develop heat disorders. The elderly are also less likely to notice the heat or become thirsty, and are therefore less likely to drink enough water. In addition, because the elderly have decreased heart and/or liver function, if they develop heat disorders, their symptoms are more likely to become serious.
However, many people may not be aware of how much water they should drink to maintain optimal physical and mental health.
FALLING AND DEHYDRATE FOR ELDERLY
Dehydration has been shown to increase the risk of falls in older adults. Because when dehydrated, the following symptoms will occur:
• Dizzy
• Headache
• Confusion
• Dry mouth, lips and eyes
