Study finds inadequate hydration among US children
HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH
Boston, MA – More than half of all children and adolescents in the U.S. are not getting enough hydration–probably because they’re not drinking enough water–a situation that could have significant repercussions for their physical health and their cognitive and emotional functioning, according to the first national study of its kind from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
The study also found racial/ethnic and gender gaps in hydration status. Black children and adolescents were at higher risk of inadequate hydration than whites; boys were at higher risk than girls.
The study appears online June 11, 2015 in the American Journal of Public Health.
“These findings are significant because they highlight a potential health issue that has not been given a whole lot of attention in the past,” said lead author Erica Kenney, a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences at Harvard Chan School. “Even though for most of these kids this is not an immediate, dramatic health threat, this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life and well-being for many, many children and youth.”
Drinking enough water is essential for physiological processes such as circulation, metabolism, temperature regulation, and waste removal. Although excessive dehydration is associated with serious health problems, even mild dehydration can cause issues, including headaches, irritability, poorer physical performance, and reduced cognitive functioning.
The researchers looked at data from 2009-2012 on more than 4,000 children and adolescents aged 6 to 19 years who participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, a study of the health of U.S. children and adults conducted each year by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They used urine osmolality–a measure of how concentrated a person’s urine is–to determine whether or not participants were adequately hydrated.
They found that a little more than half of all children and adolescents weren’t getting enough hydration. Boys were 76% more likely than girls, and non-Hispanic blacks were 34% more likely than non-Hispanic whites, to be inadequately hydrated.
Notably, nearly a quarter of the children and adolescents in the study reported drinking no plain water at all.
“The good news is that this is a public health problem with a simple solution,” said senior author Steven Gortmaker, professor of the practice of health sociology. “If we can focus on helping children drink more water–a low-cost, no-calorie beverage–we can improve their hydration status, which may allow many children to feel better throughout the day and do better in school.”

FIVE TIPS FOR A HEALTHY, HYDRATED SUMMER
Get All the Minerals and Electrolytes You Need With All Natural, Zero Calorie, ALKEMY™ Water
FAIRFIELD, CA. . May 21, 2015. The calendar says June 21 is the beginning of summer, but for most Americans the summer season begins Memorial Day weekend, when swimming pools open their doors. It’s time to jump in and enjoy.
Coreyann Poly, PhD, MEd, RDN, LDN, CDE, of the Dietitians of New England, tells us, “Summer time is the best time to get outside, be active and get fit, but don’t forget to hydrate. Our body needs water to function properly. Not drinking enough especially when you sweat can lead to dehydration, Dehydration occurs when you lose more fluid then you take in and the body doesn’t have enough water and salts to carry out normal body function. Signs and symptoms of dehydration range from mild to severe and include increased thirst, weakness, dizziness, confusion, heart palpitations and fainting. Even mild dehydration can drain your energy and make you tired. I always tell my patients to, ‘drink plenty of fluids’ and during the summer months drink even more.’” Enjoy your summer and stay Hydrated!
Five Tips You Must Know to Stay Hydrated
- Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of fluid a day
- Drink before, during and after exercise
- Drink even more if you are outside during hot and humid weather
- Drink a sports beverage, like Alkemy Water, which is a simple formula of purified water with added minerals and electrolytes in a patented process that provides the best hydrating water available! It is an all-natural, zero-calorie, zero sweetener water beverage. Avoid beverages with artificial colors, added sugars and too much salt.

- If you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and your urine is colorless or light yellow your fluid intake is probably adequate.
