Verified step by step guidance

Understand the concept of chronic dehydration: Chronic dehydration occurs when the body does not have enough water over a long period. It can be due to various factors, especially in elderly individuals.

Identify the factors that contribute to dehydration: In elderly individuals, common factors include medications like diuretics, decreased thirst sensation, and reduced fluid intake.

Analyze each option: Medications such as diuretics increase urine production, leading to fluid loss. Decreased thirst sensation means the individual may not feel the need to drink water, and reduced fluid intake directly lowers the body's water levels.

Consider the role of kidney function: Increased kidney function typically means the kidneys are working efficiently to filter and balance fluids in the body, which would not contribute to dehydration.

Determine the correct answer: Since increased kidney function does not lead to fluid loss or reduced fluid intake, it does not contribute to chronic dehydration in elderly individuals.
