1. in old age, body water loss is fundamentally from the intracellular compartment, because of decrease in mass of muscles , and increment in fat tissue.
2. enhanced insensitivity to thirst signals makes the elderly individuals vulnerable against dehydration, , and electrolyte or acid base imbalances characteristics.

Individuals with heart failure may enhance their manifestations by diminishing the measure of sodium in their eating routine. Sodium is a mineral found in numerous sustenances, particularly salt. Eating excessively salt makes the body keep or hold excessively water, intensifying the liquid development that occurs with heart disappointment.
