Adequate hydration is an essential component of health at every stage of life. Although many factors such as age, gender, physical activity, drug use, and illness affect hydration status, it is vital to maintain water balance, especially in infectious diseases. This study was conducted to estimate the hydration status of young adults living in Turkey during the COVID-19 pandemic. The total water intake (TWI) and total water loss of the individuals were determined using the Water Balance Questionnaire (WBQ), which consists of questions about physical activity status, frequency of food and beverage consumption, water consumption, and water loss with urine and feces. The TWI of men and women was found to be 4,776.1 and 4,777.3 mL/day, respectively (p > 0.05). It was determined that 29% of the total water was obtained from drinking water, 49% from other beverages, and 22% from food. A positive net water balance was found in all body mass index (BMI) groups, men, and women. The net water balance was statistically lower in men (2,230.6 mL) than women (2,783.8 mL) (p < 0.05). As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, studies should be done on hydration status in the more balanced populations in terms of BMI and age groups.

充足的水分是生命各个阶段健康的重要组成部分。尽管年龄、性别、身体活动、药物使用和疾病等许多因素会影响水合状态，但保持水平衡至关重要，尤其是在传染病中。本研究旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行期间居住在土耳其的年轻人的水分状况。使用水平衡问卷 (WBQ) 确定个体的总水摄入量 (TWI) 和总失水量，其中包括有关身体活动状态、食物和饮料消耗频率、水消耗量以及尿液和尿液丢失的问题。屎。男性和女性的 TWI 分别为 4,776.1 和 4,777.3 mL/天（p> 0.05）。经测定，总水量的 29% 来自饮用水，49% 来自其他饮料，22% 来自食物。在所有体重指数 (BMI) 组、男性和女性中均发现净水平衡为正。男性 (2,230.6 mL) 的净水平衡在统计学上低于女性 (2,783.8 mL) ( p < 0.05)。随着 COVID-19 大流行的继续，应该对 BMI 和年龄组更均衡的人群的水合状态进行研究。
