Aging and risks for dehydration
Abstract
The elderly are at increased risk for dehydration and associated fluid and electrolyte imbalances. Changes in functional and mental status, medication effects, and changes in the aging renal system all may be factors. Furthermore, hypodipsia, or insensibility to thirst, may be a physiologic process of aging. These and other risk factors are presented, along with a guide to the management of dehydration in the elderly.

Impairments have been observed in late adulthood in perceiving other interoceptive signals, such as pain, temperature, hydration and taste.
“Impairments have also been observed in late adulthood in perceiving other interoceptive signals, such as pain, temperature, hydration and taste (Clark and Mehl, 1971; Gagliese, 2009; Silver, 1990; Stevens et al., 1995).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
