The aim was to examine the hydration status of adults working in different jobs at the beginning and end of a shift and their reported water intake. One hundred and fifty-six subjects (89 males, 67 females) were recruited from workplaces within the local area (students, teachers, security, office, firefighters, catering). A urine sample was obtained at the start and end of the shift and was analyzed for osmolality (Uosm), specific gravity (USG), and sodium and potassium concentrations…

Validity and reliability of beverage intake questionnaire: evaluating hydration status.

The self-administered instrument described in this study may be useful for researchers interested in assessing habitual beverage consumption patterns or evaluating hydration status for adults.

A randomized trial to assess the potential of different beverages to affect hydration status: development of a beverage hydration index.

BHI may be a useful measure to identify the short-term hydration potential of different beverages when ingested in a euhydrated state and was calculated as the amount of water retained after ingestion relative to that observed after the ingestion of still water.

Hydration status and physiological workload of UAE construction workers: A prospective longitudinal observational study

The data demonstrate that people can work, without adverse physiological effects, in hot conditions if they are provided with the appropriate fluids and are allowed to self-pace, and suggest that workers willSelf-pace according to the conditions.

Urinary indices of hydration status.

It was concluded that (a) Ucol may be used in athletic/industrial settings or field studies, but should not be utilized in laboratories where greater precision and accuracy are required, and (b) Uosm and Usg may beused interchangeably to determine hydration status.

Blood and urinary measures of hydration status during progressive acute dehydration.

Posm accurately identifies a state of euhydration and is sensitive to changes in hydration status during acute dehydration and rehydration, and Usg correlates only moderately with Posm during acute dehydration.

Water turnover in 458 American adults 40-79 yr of age.

It is demonstrated that water turnover is highly variable among individuals and that little of the variance is explained by anthropometric parameters.

It was concluded that even minor levels of hypohydration significantly impaired exercise tolerance in a severely uncompensable heat stress environment at both light and heavy exercise intensities.

Hydration at the Work Site

Improved occupational guidelines for fluid and electrolyte replacement during hot weather occupational activities should be developed to include recommendations for fluid consumption before, during, and after work.
