Dehydration is typically defined as a loss of body fluid that equates to about 1-2% of body weight. For example, a person weighing 70 kg (154 lbs) may be considered dehydrated after losing around 0.7 to 1.4 kg (1.5 to 3 lbs) of fluid. Symptoms can vary depending on the degree of dehydration, with mild dehydration often resulting in thirst and dry mouth, while more severe cases can lead to dizziness and confusion. It's important to stay hydrated, especially during exercise or in hot conditions.
