This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Bioelectric impedance technology is a painless, non-invasive and rapid way to assess hydration status. A quick, non-invasive, portable field method to assess hydration could help health professionals working with soldiers in hot environments to identify soldiers at risk for dehydration and heat related injuries. The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of two commercially available impedance analyzers in estimating the hydration status in young men (age 18-30)compared to the gold standard of assessing total body water. This is a cross-sectional study where body composition and total body water measurements will be performed by various methods at one time-point(Bioelectric Impedance Analysis-BIA, Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry-DXA, and Total Body Water Measurement from Isotop
