what is the percent of water in human body?

Answer 1

Different people have different percentages of their bodies made up of water. Babies have the most, being born at about 78%. By one year of age, that amound drops to about 65%. In adult men, about 60% of their bodies are water. However, fat tissue does not have as much water as lean tissue.
In adult women, fat makes up more of the body than men, so they have about 55% of thier bodies made of water. Fat men also have less water (as a percentage) than thin men.

So you can see three possible reasons for the discrepancies you have found:
1) Babies and kids have more water (as a percantage) than adults.
2) Women have less water than men (as a percentage).
3) Fat people have less water than thin people (as a percentage).

A fourth reason is that different people measure per cent water a little differently, causing small differences in the answer.

Answer 5

The answer is very simple. Our body is composed of earthly elements derived from the soil. Anything that we consume comes from the soil. When one dies, the body decomposes and goes back to the earth itself, regardless of whether the body is buried or cremated. In short, your body becomes a part of the earth itself, becomes a part of soil.
