Time of urine sampling may influence the association between urine specific gravity and body composition. [PDF]
PLoS ONEUrine specific gravity (USG) is frequently utilized in sports practice and research to assess hydration status. Prior research suggests that individuals with large amounts of fat-free mass (FFM) and muscle have elevated USG, but little is known about ...

Hydration status during commercial saturation diving measured by bioimpedance and urine specific gravity [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Excessive fluid loss triggered by hyperbaric pressure, water immersion and hot water suits causes saturation divers to be at risk of dehydration. Dehydration is associated with reductions in mental and physical performance, resulting in less effective ...

Variability of first morning urine specific gravity in 103 healthy dogs [PDF]
Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, 2019 Background Urine specific gravity (USG) is an integral part of the urinalysis and a key component of many clinical decisions, and fluctuations in USG have the potential to impact case management. Objectives To determine the intraindividual variability of
