Abstract
While some dietary guidelines have established daily water requirements for adults, those for older adults are not well defined. Factors associated with water turnover (WT), indicating water requirements and preformed water (PW), referring to fluids consumed from food and beverages, remain poorly understood. Therefore, we aimed to investigate these factors in Japanese adults. This cross-sectional study included 57 participants aged 54–85 years, living in Fukuoka City, Japan. The WT and PW were measured using the doubly labelled water (DLW) methods from August 2015 to September 2015. Dietary intake and physical activity were evaluated using a 3-day dietary record (DR) and a validated triaxial accelerometer, respectively. Fasting blood and urine samples, as well as environmental conditions, were assessed using a validated technique. We evaluated the variables for predicting water consumption by using a multivariate generalised linear model, with forward stepwise selection using these covariates. The median WT and PW were 2842 ml/day and 2227 ml/day, respectively. In the multivariate model, WT (R2 = 0.629) and PW (R2 = 0.621) were moderately predicted by variables such as sex, body weight, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, water consumption estimated by DR, urinary aldosterone and osmolality, creatinine clearance and wet-bulb globe temperature. The PW estimates from DR were ~40% lower than those from DLW method, despite a significant correlation between the values. WT and PW are associated not only with lifestyle and environmental factors but also with urinary markers and kidney function. These findings provide useful insights into the differences in each individual’s water requirement.
