About 60% of the body is made up of water, and good hydration is key to keep the body healthy. However, maintenance of fluid balance throughout the body becomes less efficient in older people, making older people more susceptible to becoming dehydrated. 

Especially for older adults with many mental and physical frailties, they are more vulnerable to the risk of dehydration.  As we’re experiencing warmer days, our dehydration poster can help you to identify the signs of dehydration in 3 steps. There are also tips on how dehydration can be prevented. 

It includes:  

  • Physical signs of dehydration  
  • Mental and emotional signs of dehydration  
  • Serious signs of dehydration  
  • Tips to stay hydrated
