Men and women typically differ in body composition due to hormonal and genetic factors. Men generally have a higher percentage of muscle mass and lower body fat compared to women, who usually have a higher percentage of body fat, particularly in areas like the hips and thighs. This difference is largely influenced by testosterone in men, which promotes muscle growth, while estrogen in women supports fat storage for reproductive purposes. Additionally, women often have a higher overall percentage of water in their bodies compared to men.
