Question

Approximately, what percentage of the body is water?

Answer 1

The average adult Human Body is 57%-60% water.

Explanation:

The human body like any other living organisms is composed of cells and cells typically are 70% water. However, the Human Body also contains a percent of bone tissue which are ossified calcium and minerals lacking water.

Because each human body is composed of lean body mass which holds more water by percent than does fatty tissue the range of water in the body can be from 50% to 65% with the average adult between 57% and 60%. At birth a baby is typically between 75% and 78% water dropping to 65% by the end of the first year.
