  • Relation between urinary hydration biomarkers and total Fluid Intake in healthy adults
    European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2013
    Co-Authors: E Perrier, P Rondeau, M Poupin, L Le Bellego, L E Armstrong, F Lang, J Stookey, I Tack, S Vergne, A Klein
    Abstract:

    Background/objectives: In sedentary adults, hydration is mostly influenced by total Fluid Intake and not by sweat losses; moreover, low daily Fluid Intake is associated with adverse health outcomes. This study aimed to model the relation between total Fluid Intake and urinary hydration biomarkers. Subjects/methods: During 4 consecutive weekdays, 82 adults (age, 31.6±4.3 years; body mass index, 23.2±2.7 kg/m^2; 52% female) recorded food and Fluid consumed, collected one first morning urine (FMU) void and three 24-h (24hU) samples. The strength of linear association between urinary hydration biomarkers and Fluid Intake volume was evaluated using simple linear regression and Pearson’s correlation. Multivariate partial least squares (PLS) modeled the association between Fluid Intake and 24hU hydration biomarkers. Results: Strong associations (| r |⩾0.6; P

    Abstract:

    SUBJECTS/METHODS: During 4 consecutive weekdays, 82 adults (age, 31.6±4.3 years; body mass index, 23.2±2.7 kg/m 2 ; 52% female) recorded food and Fluid consumed, collected one first morning urine (FMU) void and three 24-h (24hU) samples. The strength of linear association between urinary hydration biomarkers and Fluid Intake volume was evaluated using simple linear regression and Pearson’s correlation. Multivariate partial least squares (PLS) modeled the association between Fluid Intake and 24hU hydration biomarkers. RESULTS: Strong associations (|r|X0.6; Po0.001) were found between total Fluid Intake volume and 24hU osmolality, color, specific gravity (USG), volume and solute concentrations. Many 24hU biomarkers were collinear (osmolality versus color: r ¼ 0.49–0.76; USG versus color: r ¼ 0.46–0.78; osmolality versus USG: 0.86–0.97; Po0.001). Measures in FMU were not strongly correlated to Intake. Multivariate PLS and simple linear regression using urine volume explained 450% of the variance in Fluid Intake volume (r 2 ¼ 0.59 and 0.52, respectively); however the error in both models was high and the limits of agreement very large. CONCLUSIONS: Hydration biomarkers in 24hU are strongly correlated with daily total Fluid Intake volume in sedentary adults in free-living conditions; however, the margin of error in the present models limits the applicability of estimating Fluid Intake from urinary biomarkers.

    Female pelvic medicine & reconstructive surgery, 2020
    Co-Authors: Priyanka Kadam Halani, Lily A. Arya, Heidi S. Harvie, Uduak U. Andy
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVE The primary aim of this study was to determine if fecal incontinence (FI) is associated with self-reported Fluid Intake in women seeking care for pelvic floor disorders. The secondary aim was to determine the association between bowel symptoms and Fluids associated with FI. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study of women presenting for evaluation of pelvic floor disorders from 2009 to 2015. The presence of FI was defined as an affirmative response of any frequency to the question, "During the last 4 weeks, how often have you leaked or soiled yourself with stool?" Data on Fluid Intake and bowel symptoms were collected using the Questionnaire-based Voiding Diary and Colorectal-Anal Distress Inventory short form, respectively. The relationship between FI and quartiles of Fluid Intake, as well as the relationship between bowel symptoms and Fluids associated with FI, was analyzed. RESULTS Nine hundred twenty-four women were included: 379 (41%) with and 545 (59%) without FI. There was an association between FI and increasing total carbonated Fluid Intake (P = 0.009) and decreasing water Intake (P = 0.009). The associations between FI and carbonated Fluid Intake and FI and water Intake remained significant after controlling for patient characteristics (P < 0.05). There was a significant association between the symptom of straining to defecate and carbonated beverage Intake (P = 0.046), which remained significant after controlling for patient characteristics (P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Consumption of carbonated beverages is associated with FI in women. Intake of carbonated Fluids is associated with bowel symptoms that may exacerbate FI symptoms.

  • Impact of Dry Mouth on Fluid Intake and Overactive Bladder Symptoms in Women taking Fesoterodine
    Journal of Urology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Steven J. Weissbart, Heidi S. Harvie, Rusell Lewis, Ariana L. Smith, Janis M. Miller, Lily A. Arya
    Abstract:

    Purpose: We investigated the long-term relationships between dry mouth, Fluid Intake and overactive bladder symptoms in women undergoing treatment with fesoterodine. We hypothesized that women who experienced dry mouth would increase their Fluid Intake and worsen their urinary symptoms.Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective ancillary study to a 9-month open-label trial of fesoterodine for women with urgency urinary incontinence. Fluid Intake was measured and compared according to reported dry mouth. Multivariable analysis was used to study the interaction between dry mouth, Fluid Intake and urinary symptoms.Results: During the study 407 women without dry mouth significantly reduced their Fluid Intake (mean decrease 172.1 ml, median 118.3 ml, p = 0.02), while 91 women with dry mouth did not (mean decrease 95.8 ml, median 118.3 ml, p = 0.54). On univariable analysis a greater proportion of women who experienced dry mouth reported improvement in their urinary symptoms compared to women without dry...

    Female pelvic medicine & reconstructive surgery, 2013
    Co-Authors: Saya Segal, Emily K. Saks, Tirsit Asfaw, Lily A. Arya
    Abstract:

    OBJECTIVES To determine the association between the type and volume of Fluid Intake and bowel symptoms in women with urinary incontinence. We hypothesize that a lower volume of Fluid Intake would be associated with greater straining with bowel movements in women with urinary incontinence. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of 256 women presenting with complaints of urinary incontinence from 2009 to 2010. Data on Fluid Intake, Fluid Intake behavior, urinary and bowel symptoms were collected using validated questionnaires. The relationship between quartiles of total daily Fluid Intake and bowel symptoms was analyzed. RESULTS The behavior of restricting Fluid Intake was reported by 32% of the women. Increasing quartiles of total daily Fluid Intake was significantly associated with greater bother from straining with bowel movements (P = 0.04). Women with no bother from straining with bowel movements had significantly lower median daily Fluid Intake (2839 mL) than women with quite a bit of bother (3312 mL; P = 0.01). The association between the volume of Fluid Intake and straining with bowel movements persisted after controlling for age, body mass index, history of prolapse or incontinence surgery, and stage of prolapse (P < 0.05). There was no association between caffeinated Fluid Intake and any bowel symptom or between the behavior of restricting Fluid Intake and any bowel symptom. CONCLUSION In women with urinary incontinence, higher volume of total Fluid Intake is reported by women with greater straining with bowel movements. The behavior of Fluid restriction is not associated with bothersome bowel symptoms.

  • Self-assessment of Fluid Intake behavior in women with urinary incontinence.
    Journal of women's health (2002), 2011
    Co-Authors: Saya Segal, Emily K. Saks, Lily A. Arya
    Abstract:

    Abstract Objective: To determine if women with urinary incontinence are able to recognize patterns of Fluid Intake associated with lower urinary tract symptoms. Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 256 consecutive women with urinary incontinence at an initial visit to a urogynecology practice. Data from the Questionnaire-Based Voiding Diary, a validated instrument that measures volume of Fluid Intake, Fluid Intake behavior, and lower urinary tract symptoms, were abstracted. Carbonated, caffeinated, and total Fluid Intake volumes were analyzed. Behaviors of excess consumption of caffeinated, carbonated, and total Fluid Intake as well as restriction of Fluid Intake were measured. Fluid Intake volumes were divided into quartiles and correlated to Fluid Intake behavior and lower urinary tract symptoms. Results: Fluid Intake behaviors of drinking excess carbonated and caffeinated beverages were significantly associated with the volume of carbonated (p

  • Construct validity of a questionnaire to measure the type of Fluid Intake and type of urinary incontinence.
    Neurourology and urodynamics, 2011
    Co-Authors: Lily A. Arya, Saya Segal, Harvie Heidi, Lori Cory, Gina M. Northington
    Abstract:

    Objective: to determine the reproducibility and construct validity of the Questionnaire Based Voiding Diary (QVD) for measuring the type and volume of Fluid Intake and the type of urinary incontinence. Methods: 250 women completed the QVD, a 48-hour bladder diary and underwent complete urogynecologic evaluation to determine a final clinical diagnosis. The questionnaire was re-administered after a 2-week period with no change in treatment, and 2-3 months later following treatment of urinary symptoms. Results: The reproducibility of the Fluid Intake, output, Fluid Intake behavior and urinary symptom subscales of the QVD was 0.68-0.92. Correlation of the Fluid Intake scale of the QVD with the 48-hour voiding diary for determining the type and volume of Fluid Intake was high (r = 0.65-0.83, P

  • Impact of Fluid Intake in the prevention of urinary system diseases: a brief review.
    Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2013
    Co-Authors: Yair Lotan, M. Daudon, Franck Bruyère, Glenn Talaska, Giovanni F.m. Strippoli, Richard J. Johnson, I Tack
    Abstract:

    We are often told that we should be drinking more water, but the rationale for this remains unclear and no recommendations currently exist for a healthy Fluid Intake supported by rigorous scientific evidence. Crucially, the same lack of evidence precludes the claim that a high Fluid Intake has no clinical benefit. The aim of this study is to describe the mechanisms by which chronic low Fluid Intake may play a crucial role in the pathologies of four key diseases of the urinary system: urolithiasis, urinary tract infection, chronic kidney disease and bladder cancer. Although primary and secondary intervention studies evaluating the impact of Fluid Intake are lacking, published data from observational studies appears to suggest that chronic low Fluid Intake may be an important factor in the pathogenesis of these diseases.

  • Relationship of Fluid Intake to voluntary micturitions and urinary incontinence in women
    Neurourology and Urodynamics, 1991
    Co-Authors: Jean F. Wyman, R. K. Elswick, Mary S Wilson, J. Andrew Fantl
    Abstract:

    This retrospective study investigated the relationship between the volume of oral Fluid Intake and the frequency of voluntary micturitions and urinary incontinent episodes. The sample consisted of 126 community-dwelling women who were age 55 years or older, ambulatory, mentally intact, and participants in a clinical trial on behavioral management for urinary incontinence. All subjects kept Fluid and urinary diaries for 1 week. Analyses of Pearson's correlation coefficients between mean daily oral Fluid volume Intake and mean daily diurnal and nocturnal micturitions and urinary incontinent episodes were performed in women with sphincteric incompetence alone (N = 89), and those with detrusor instability with or without concomitant sphincteric incompetence (N = 37). The results indicated only weak positive correlations between Fluid Intake and voluntary micturitions. Similar weak positive correlations were observed with incontinent episodes even after controlling for the effect of diuretic use or urodynamic characterization. Modest positive relationships between Fluid Intake and the urinary variables were found in subjects with pure sphincteric incompetence. No correlations were found in subjects with detrusor instability. Additional analyses of these relationships suggests that Fluid Intake may have different effects based on the severity of the incontinence syndrome, and that these effects may vary by pathophysiologic condition. We conclude that the volume of Fluid Intake does not strongly influence voluntary micturition patterns or frequency of urinary incontinent episodes in community-dwelling women.

  • real time Fluid Intake gesture recognition based on batteryless uhf rfid technology
    Pervasive and Mobile Computing, 2017
    Co-Authors: Asangi Jayatilaka, Damith C Ranasinghe
    Abstract:

    Automatic Fluid Intake monitoring can be used to ensure adequate hydration in older people. In this study, a real-time Fluid Intake monitoring system based on the batteryless Ultra High Frequency Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology is proposed. The system is simple, unobtrusive, low cost and maintenance-free. Despite the noisy RFID data stream, we demonstrate the efficacy of using a batteryless RFID enabled Fluid container to recognize individual instances of drinking (i.e. drinking episodes), in the presence of non-drinking gestures. We conducted experiments with 10 young and 5 older volunteers and achieved F-scores of 87% and 79% for recognizing drinking episodes, respectively.
