Dehydration in Children Clinical Trial
Official title:
Nutrition, Urinary Markers and Sleep Habits in Children
The investigators are conducting this research study to determine learn how daily habits and
fluid choices impact children's health, sleep, cognitive function and mood. The investigators
look to determine if a hydration intervention using an alternative beverage may impact these
variables in children.
Maintaining an appropriate level of hydration throughout the day has multiple health
benefits. Maintaining a desirable hydration status improves overall health and wellbeing
(mood, reaction time, sleep quality, cognitive function, etc.) in adults, but negative health
and mental effects of hypohydration are not fully understood in an adolescent population.
Maintaining appropriate hydration in adolescents presents unique challenges with respect to
schedule (e.g. the availability of fluid during the school day and after school activities)
as well as ensuring the most beneficial beverage choice. Adolescents can be very meticulous
regarding their preferred beverage (e.g. choosing a sugary drink over water) and parents
prefer their children consume the healthiest option for their food and beverages, often times
leading to conflict.
Therefore the purpose/goal of the proposed study is to determine if a hydration intervention
using an alternative sweetened beverage will improve hydration and other overall health (e.g.
cognitive function, sleep quality, mood etc.)
The investigators hypothesize, that by giving children an alternative tasty option, they will
consume more fluids which may lead to improving and maintaining their chronic hydration
state. Implementing a beverage intervention with a sweet alternative option (i.e. Creative
Roots) could improve hydration levels in adolescents. In turn, possibly improving mood,
reaction time, sleep quality, and cognitive function. All of which are vital in the overall
development of the adolescent.
