Dehydration can be a concern in the elderly population. the modified myplate for older adults recommends eight glasses of water per day. what is the ai for water for a 65-year-old male?

The dehydration is a very common problem seen in elderly individuals. At an elderly age, all the body functions are diminished, which lead to reduction in thirst and body's ability to obtain water. That is why, the elderly people are very susceptible to dehydration.

In order to remain healthy, a person must take 2.5- 4 litres of water per day. In males, the water is required more than females. So, for males, the adequate intake (AI) of water should be in between 3-4 litres per day.

the oxygenated blood then leaves the lungs through pulmonary veins, which return it to the left heart, completing the pulmonary cycle. this blood then enters the left atrium, which pumps it through the mitral valve into the left ventricle. from the left ventricle, the blood passes through the aortic valve to the aorta.

deoxygenated blood leaves through the right ventricle through the pulmonary artery. from the right atrium, the blood is pumped through the tricuspid valve (or right atrioventricular valve), into the right ventricle.

well the answer is 2!
