Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the amount of water intake and the influencing factors of daily water intake of Changsha undergraduates. METHODS: From December 2014 to January 2015, we investigated 1000 undergraduates in 4 colleges of Changsha through questionnaire and cup measurement. Total of 1000 undergraduates were selected by multistage random sampling method. Multi-level analysis were used to analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of daily water intake. RESULTS: The median of total daily water intake was 2803 mL, daily direct water intake was 1983 mL, and indirect water intake was 757 mL. The median of daily water intake in spring or autumn of undergraduates was 2656 mL, 3480 mL in summer and 2236 mL in winter. With multilevel analysis, we found that sex, BMI and status of smoking or alcohol drinking influencing the water intake of undergraduates. CONCLUSION: The daily water drink of undergraduates is influenced by sex, BMI and smoking and alcohol drinking. Therefore, these influencing factors should be comprehensively considered when making environmental risk evaluation through water intake.
