O.4.5.1.2 Water is lost from the body in many ways. Examples are: breathing; sweating; urinating; vomiting; diarrhoea. It is thought that water loss from the body increases as altitude increases but scientific studies have shown this may not be the case (Energy and water balance at high altitude: Klaas R. Westerterp, 2001).O.4.5.1.3 Dehydration is usually caused by not drinking enough fluid to replace what has been lost. The environmental conditions, the amount of physical effort being used (particularly in hot weather), diet and a person’s tolerance to a decrease in body water can all contribute to the condition.
