To prevent hyponatremia (sodium deficiency), attention must be paid to reducing individual risk factors.
Behavioral risk factors
- Diet
- Consumption of stimulants
- Alcohol (in this case, elderly people with long-term malnutrition + more than five liters of beer every day → 4.5 percent of patients with hyponatremia and values below 135 mmol/l;1.3 percent) of patients showed severe hyponatremia (below 125 mmol/l), the lowest value was 104 mmol/l)
