What did studies of Water intake find?
3Studies of Water intake measured 3 outcomes; the most studied are lean body mass (1 study), body fat mass (1) and kidney function (1).
Lean body mass

Water intake decreases body fat mass in humans (p = 0.005).
“Higher water intake was associated with significantly lower android (p = 0.004), gynoid (p < 0.001), and total body fat mass (p = 0.005)”

Water intake improves kidney function.
“Recent evidence from experimental PKD models has shown the potential benefits of caloric restriction, high water intake and especially ketogenic diets in preserving kidney function.”

What is Water intake linked with?
3Studies link Water intake with 3 measures, most often obstructive lung function impairment (1 study), restrictive lung function impairment (1) and healthy aging (1).
Obstructive lung function impairment
