Impact of water consumption on renal function in the general population: a cross-sectional analysis of KNHANES data (2008-2017).

ABSTRACT:

Background

The renoprotective effect of water intake remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the relationship between water intake and renal impairment in the Korean general population, focusing on individual differences in body fluid distribution and risk of chronic dehydration.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the 2008-2017 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES). Adult participants who had body weight and serum creatinine data and had answered 24-h recall nutritional survey were included. Four water intake groups were defined by daily total water intake per body weight: lowest (< 20 mL/kg/day), low-moderate (20-29.9 mL/kg/day), high-moderate (30-49.9 mL/kg/day), and highest (≥ 50 mL/kg/day). We assessed the risk of renal impairm
