Around 65 percent of the human individual mass is water. The brain, for illustration, has approximately 90 percent of water in mass, the muscles, 85 percent and the bones encompass between 25 percent and 40 percent of water.

Younger adult individuals contain proportionally more water in mass than the older individuals.
