Is there 70 percent of water in your body?

The average human body is about 60 to 70 percent water. This varies by individual based on body type and composition, and on the state of bodily hydration. Most of the water is found within the cells. Water is about 55-65% of the total human body weight in an adult. In infants, this is as high as 78%. Women (adult) tend to have less water than men due to their percentage of body fat. As we age, the percentage of body fluids becomes less.
