Water is an essential nutrient needed by the body. Dehydration is a condition when body loses more water than it takes. The content of water in human body depend on the proportion of muscle tissue and fat tissue. This cross sectional study was to analyze relation between fl uid intake, and nutrition status with hydration status of worker in division of general engineering at PT PAL INDONESIA. Subjects were all workers in all division general engineering at PT PAL INDONESIA. Data were collected by questionnaire which consist of 2 × 24 hours food recall, anthropometry measurement and urine collection. Spearman correlation test was applied to analyze the data. The result showed that most of the workers were ≤ 40 years old (58,8%) and all workers are male. Most of the workers had total fl uid intake less than 3700 L per day (85,3%) with average 2797,3 ± 673,30 L per day, nutritional status were obese (67,6%) and medium dehydrated (41.2%). The result of statistic test showed a strong positive relationship between fluid intake and hydration status. Meanwhile there was a weak negative relationship between nutritional status and hydration status. It can be concluded that fl uid intake more contribute to hydration status than nutrition status in general engineering division workers.
