No thirst does not mean the body is hydrated.
As we age, the natural thirst response becomes weaker. That means seniors can become dehydrated without feeling it.
This is dangerous because dehydration can lead to:
π§ Confusion
π« Dizziness
πΆ Falls
π¦ Urinary infections
π₯ Hospitalization
Waiting for thirst is not a safe signal in older adults.
