摘要：Objective: To determine the risk factors for dehydration in elderly people in one of Elbehira Governorate's villages. Methods: A descriptive correlational design was utilized in this study. The study was conducted at Elnemaria village, Markaz Abo Elmatamir, Elbehira Governorate, Egypt. Data were collected using 3 tools: a structured interviewing questionnaire, a dehydration knowledge questionnaire, and a dehydration risk appraisal checklist. Results: The study found that 29.5％ of the participants were aged between 65 and 70. Males constituted 51％ of the study participants. The majority of the study participants regularly took anti-acids, anti-inflammatory drugs, and diuretics.
