Abstract in brief

  • Water is crucial for maintaining body function, with its distribution affected by osmotic pressure in both extracellular and intracellular compartments; older adults face challenges like loss of thirst and urine concentration ability, leading to increased extracellular osmolarity that can dehydrate cells.
  • Cell dehydration can damage protein structure/function, potentially affecting overall health and, importantly, muscle strength, which becomes increasingly reliant on muscle quality rather than just mass in older adults.
  • Intracellular water content in lean muscle is linked to strength and frailty risk, indicating its importance as an indicator of both muscle quality and hydration status in the aging population.

nice hypothesis piece: The Role of #Water Homeostasis in Muscle Function and Frailty: A Review https://t.co/qF66Ncqflf i am not sure it will pan out as hypothesised but hopefully some clever studies can come from this to work it out! #hydration #ageing
