We are pleased to announce the new Section “Hydration” (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/nutrients/sections/Hydration) in the journal Nutrients (ISSN: 2072-6643). Prof. Dr. Stavros Kavouras is serving as the Section Editor-in-Chief.

Hydration has been one of the least studied topics in nutritional sciences. The present Section entitled “Hydration” is the first in the scientific literature, and it aims to publish papers on the impact of water intake and hydration on health and performance. Contributions should provide new knowledge and novel insights from various cross-sectional, feeding, observational, and other studies across the lifespan in humans and experimental animals. We encourage manuscripts that provide causality studies performed in large cohorts, multicenter studies, and international collaborations. Randomized clinical trials assessing the effect of water intake and its effectiveness in health promotion interventions will receive special attention. 

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Hydration and obesity;
• Hydration and health;
• Hydration and chronic diseases;
• Cognition;
• Mood;
• Mental health;
• Hydration in children;
• Hydration in older adults;
• Hydration during pregnancy and lactation;
