Water Intake and Markers of Hydration Are Related to Cardiometabolic Risk Biomarkers in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Cross-Sectional Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Emerging evidence links underhydration and habitual low water intake to higher cardiometabolic risk, but evidence is limited in community-dwelling older adults.

Objectives

The objective is to examine if higher water intake and better hydration are associated with better cardiometabolic health.

Methods

This cross-sectional analysis using general linear models included 2238 participants from the Framingham Heart Study Second Generation and First Generation Omni cohorts with an estimated glomerular filtration rate >30 mL·min-1·1.73 m-2 and a valid FFQ for assessment of water intake. Of these participants, 2219 had fasting spot urinary creatinine data and 950 had 24-h urine creatinine data to assess hydration. Cardiometabolic risk factors included fasting gluco
