Distribution of water turnover by sex and age as estimated by prediction equation in Japanese adolescents and adults: the 2016 National Health and Nutrition Survey, Japan.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although water is essential to the maintenance of health and life, standard values for human water requirements are yet to be determined. This study aimed to evaluate the distribution of water turnover (WT) according to sex and age, estimated using a prediction equation, in Japanese adolescents and adults.

Methods

This cross-sectional study used data from the 2016 National Health and Nutrition Survey, Japan. Data were obtained from electronically available aggregated reports in the survey's official website. Participants aged between 15 and 80 years (10,546 men, 12,355 women) were selected using stratified random sampling. WT was calculated considering lifestyle and environmental factors, and using an equation (coefficient of determination = 0.471) previously deve
