A person will probably die without water after 5 days, but will suffer serious, effects after 3 days.

A 95-year-old may survive without food for a few weeks, but dehydration without water can be life-threatening much sooner, typically within a few days to a week. It's important for older adults to stay hydrated and nourished to maintain their health and well-being.
