	Dr. Koop - Skin turgor
		Skin turgor is the skin's degree of resistance to deformation and is determined by various factors, such as the amount of fluids in the body (hydration) and age.
		Skin turgor is one way to estimate the state of hydration (fluids) and, to a lesser extent, nutrition.
		Skin turgor is a sign commonly used by health care workers to assess the degree of fluid loss or dehydration.
