Why Dehydration Is Common in Older Adults
为什么中老年人更易脱水?
The first, and perhaps most perplexing, cause of dehydration in older adults is a lack of thirst. During the aging process, thirst sensation naturally decreases, says Dr. Audrey Chun, vice chair of geriatric and palliative medicine outpatient services in the Mount Sinai Health System and director of Coffey Geriatrics at The Martha Stewart Center for Living at Mount Sinai Hospital.
中老年人脱水的首要原因,也许也是最令人困惑的一个原因就是:他们不会感到口渴。在衰老过程中,口渴感会自然而然地降低,西奈山卫生系统老年姑息医学门诊服务部的副主席兼西奈山医院玛莎斯图尔特生活中心科菲老年医学部的主任奥黛丽·春(Audrey Chun)博士说道。
While the mechanisms are not clear-cut, thirst levels in adults older than 65 are commonly far lower than indicative of the body's actual fluid needs. Because of this decreased thirst sensation, many adults do not drink as much as they did in their younger days, says Dr. Sanjay Kurani, medical director of inpatient medicine at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center in San Jose, California.
虽然造成这一现象的原因尚不明确,但65岁以上老年人的口渴程度通常远低于其身体实际需要的饮水量。由于口渴感降低,很多成年人的饮水量也开始降低,远比不上年轻时候,加利福尼亚州圣何塞市圣塔克拉拉谷医疗中心的住院医学医疗主任桑杰·库拉尼(Sanjay Kurani)博士说道。
