Abstract

Background: Skin hydration is influenced by both intrinsic and systemic factors, including blood biomarkers and body composition. Physiological conditions such as anemia, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia are known to affect skin barrier function; however, their relationship with skin hydration has not been comprehensively studied in healthy adult populations. Objective: To analyze the association between blood parameters (hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, uric acid, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and triglycerides) and body composition (visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, skeletal muscle mass) with skin hydration status (water, oil, and moisture levels) in adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 210 adult participants from three educational institutions in Jakarta. Data were collected through fasting venous blood analysis, bioelectrical impedance measurements, and skin analysis. Statistical analysis used Spearman correlation with a significance level of p<0.05. Results: Hemoglobin, triglycerides, and uric acid showed a significant positive correlation with skin hydration (p<0.01), while total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and body composition parameters did not show significant associations. Fasting blood glucose was also not significantly correlated with skin moisture. Conclusion: Certain blood parameters, particularly hemoglobin, triglycerides, and uric acid, play an important role in maintaining skin hydration. These findings highlight the importance of evaluating systemic biomarkers as part of a comprehensive approach in skin care and in preventing dry skin in adult populations.

Abstract

River-dependent communities may experience impaired skin hydration because exposure to bathing water with unsuitable physicochemical characteristics can disrupt the epidermal barrier. This study examined the pH characteristics of Batang Empu River water, described residents’ skin hydration levels, and evaluated the association between water pH and skin hydration. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Muara Batang Empu Village, South Sumatra, from December 2025 to January 2026. A total of 211 residents were recruited through consecutive non-random sampling. River-water pH was measured at four locations and four time points, while skin hydration was assessed and classified into five categories. Participant characteristics and hygiene-related behaviors were collected using questionnaires. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test and Pearson’s chi-square test. Mean water pH values across the four locations ranged from 6.26 to 6.45. Among participants, 24.6% experienced severe dehydration, 19.0% had inadequate hydration, 20.4% had optimal hydration, and 18.0% each had good or excellent hydration. Water pH was significantly associated with skin hydration (p = 0.02), whereas age (p = 0.54) and sex (p = 0.67) were not significantly associated. River-water pH was associated with residents’ skin hydration, highlighting the importance of improved water-quality monitoring and preventive skin-health education.
