Who would be most at risk for dehydration?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks who would be most at risk for dehydration. 
Option 1: 'adolescents and elderly'—While elderly are at risk, adolescents are generally less vulnerable to dehydration than infants, so this pairing underestimates the risk in the youngest group. 
Option 2: 'infants and elderly'—This pairing correctly identifies two populations with the highest vulnerability to dehydration: infants lack fully developed water regulation and can lose fluids rapidly, and older adults often have diminished thirst sensation and comorbidities that increase dehydration risk. 
Option 3: 'athletes and elderly'—Athletes can be at risk during intense exercise or heat, but they are typically monitored and manage hydration; elderly are at risk, yet the combination omits the especially vulnerable infant group. 
Option 4: 'infants and athletes'—Infants are indeed at high risk, but pairing them with athletes ignores the substantial dehydration risk present in the elderly population, making this option incomplete. 
Overall, the most comprehensive and accurate pairing for highest dehydration risk is infants and elderly, as both groups have distinct physiological factors that elevate their susceptibility.
