Anxiety disorders are a very common psychiatric pathology among young university students, and the strategies for its mitigation are limited to the consumption of anxiolytic substances. Adequate hydration is essential for staying healthy, as water is the main component of the human body and of several physiological processes. A state of dehydration, in addition to a negative water balance, has serious consequences on health status. We aimed to determine the association between the degree of anxiety and the level of hydration in Spanish university students. A cross-sectional, observational research study with a sample of 65 female university students was conducted. Over 90% of the study population shows anxiety levels above the 95th percentile. The individuals with anxiety above the 95th percentile showed a negative water balance. The consumption of coffee and herbal teas shows correlations with state anxiety and trait anxiety.
焦虑障碍是年轻大学生中非常常见的精神病理学,其缓解策略仅限于使用抗焦虑物质。适当的水合作用对于保持健康至关重要,因为水是人体和许多生理过程的主要组成部分。脱水状态除了负水合作用外,还会对健康状况产生严重后果。我们旨在确定西班牙大学生的焦虑程度与水合水平之间的关系。这是一项横断面观察性研究,样本为 65 名女大学生。研究人群中有超过 90%的人表现出焦虑水平高于第 95 个百分位数。焦虑水平高于第 95 个百分位数的个体表现出负水合作用。咖啡和草药茶的摄入与状态焦虑和特质焦虑呈相关性。
