Description

Shuyi Zhou and co-authors measure how much of young Chinese adults' water intake comes from food, in this 2025 paper. Food water is easy to overlook in hydration advice, and its share in China was unclear. The study covered seven regions of the country.

Nine hundred forty-seven healthy adults aged eighteen to twenty-five took part in spring 2023. The team weighed duplicate portions of everything eaten over three days and logged drinks with a daily diary. Food supplied about thirty-eight percent of total water on average, more in the east than in the south. Energy, salt, and carbohydrate intake each tracked with higher food water.
