| Abstract | It has long been known that individuals can survive much longer without food than they can without water. Only in recent decades has science been able to quantify the factors that influence the body’s ability to maintain optimal water levels and the physiological consequences of water imbalance. This monograph presents information to assist the caregiver—whether physician, medic, unit leader, or fellow soldier—in understanding the influence of environment, physical activity, body size and gender, and load carriage in maintaining water balance. |
