How does the height and the weight of a human affect the amount of blood a human has?

The amount of blood a human has is generally correlated with body size, including height and weight. On average, an adult has about 7-8% of their body weight in blood, which means taller and heavier individuals typically have a greater blood volume. For instance, a person weighing around 70 kg may have approximately 5-6 liters of blood, while a larger individual would have proportionately more. However, individual variations, such as health status and fitness levels, can also influence blood volume.
