Oxygen is about 63% of the human body by mass.

Oxygen is in many biological molecules, but most of it is in water.

Numerically, hydrogen atoms represent 63% of all atoms in the human body. That varies too, because many of the hydrogen are abound up in water and water content varies.

Water by itself can be 63% of the mass of a human. (It varies with age, gender, muscle and and body fat, but is 55-65% for adults and more for children.)

As one can see, many things are 63% of the human body.
