How much percentage of water lies within the body cells

1 answer

Approximately 60% to 70% of the total body weight in humans is water, and about 60% of the water in the body is found within the cells, known as intracellular fluid. This means that around 36% to 42% of total body weight in a typical adult is due to water within the cells. The exact percentage can vary based on factors like age, sex, and body composition.
