Here’s a simple five-second skin turgor test you can try: Pinch the skin on the back of your hand and watch how quickly it returns to normal. If it bounces back right away, you’re likely well-hydrated. But if it stays tented or returns slowly, it can be a sign of dehydration. ✅ Important note: For people over 65, skin naturally loses elasticity. That means even well-hydrated older adults may have slower skin recoil. But if you do this test regularly with someone you care for, you can spot change

Have you ever tried the skin-pinch test to check for dehydration? It works by measuring how quickly your skin snaps back after being pinched. Slower recoil can mean fluid loss, but age and other factors can affect the results.

The skin pinch test is a screening test for dehydration. Honestly, I was shocked but not surprised to discover that I am dehydrated. I tell patients everyday to drink more water daily and I’m the worst at drinking water😩 This has totally convinced me to be intentional about drinking water. I’m challenging myself for the next two weeks to only drink water and lay off the coffee. Coffee is dehydrating by the way😩Other signs of dehydration: 1. Extreme thirst 2. Less frequent urination 3.
