Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Prevalence of dehydration (as defined as urinary osmolality > 800 mOsmol/l) Osmolality is measured by freezing point depression

    Time frame: Day 1

    Prevalence of dehydration (as defined as urinary osmolality > 800 mOsmol/l) Osmolality is measured by freezing point depression

Secondary outcomes

  1. Amount of water intake at breakfast

    Time frame: Day 1

    To determine whether urinary osmolality is correlated to total water intake at breakfast

  2. Total energy and nutrient intake

    Time frame: Day 1

    To determine whether urinary osmolality is correlated to nutrient and energy intake at breakfast.
