What % water is the 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.

Answer 2

Technically, water is not considered part of the human body. The human body contains water but your actual body is not made of water.

Answer 3

-Basically, up to 60% of your body is water (if it was any higher, we wouldn't be able to stand upright, we'd be puddles!).

Think of what you need to survive, really just survive. Food? Water? Air? MTV? Naturally, I'm going to concentrate on water here. Water is of major importance to all living things; in some organisms, up to 90 percent of their body weight comes from water. Up to 60 percent of the human body is water, the brain is composed of 70 percent water, and the lungs are nearly 90 percent water. About 83 percent of our blood is water, which helps digest our food, transport waste, and control body temperature. Each day humans must replace 2.4 litres of water, some through drinking and the rest taken by the body from the foods eaten.

Answer 6

The normal percentage varies from person to person, but it is usually in the 80-90% range.
