Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
To observe statistically significant changes in ultrasound velocity associated with normal daily variation of the individual hydration level of elderly
1 day
Study Arms (1)
Elderly, assisted living residents
Hydration Monitor ultrasound measurements
Interventions
Measurement of the ultrasound velocity with the Hydration Monitor for specific anatomic locations. Triplicate measurements will be made for each time-point. All subjects will also be measured for bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) and estimation of total body water using a leg-to-leg BIA machine.
Eligibility Criteria
The subject pool will be comprised of 100 elderly (over 65 years old), male and female subjects who are residing in assisted living center
You may qualify if:
- elderly ( above 65 years old)
- male and female subjects who is residing in assisted living centers
You may not qualify if:
- Open wounds or rashes on calf testing area
- Visibly detectable edema
- Active skin infection
- Subjects will be excluded from the study if they can't physically stand on both feet without assistance
