Infants and the elderly are the most vulnerable to dehydration because they have a higher risk of fluid loss due to their smaller fluid reserves and decreased ability to regulate body temperature. Infants also have a higher metabolic rate which increases their fluid needs. It is important to ensure that these groups have access to adequate hydration to prevent dehydration.
