1 answer

The human body is composed of approximately 60% water, although this percentage can vary based on factors such as age, sex, and body composition. For example, infants may have a higher percentage of water (about 75-78%), while older adults typically have a lower percentage, around 50-55%. Additionally, individuals with higher body fat percentages may have a lower overall water content compared to those with more muscle mass, as muscle tissue contains more water than fat tissue.
