Date Posted: Jan 12, 2003 #6. I don't think prefecture really converts to city or state.. heh.. the way I always look at it, the japanese just have a different system of describing areas. Obviously, there's Japan, the country.. then there are the areas of the islands, like Hokkaido, Honshu, Shikoku, Kyushu.. then there are cities like Tokyo..
The percentage of water varies according to your age and gender. Here's a look at how much water is inside you. Answer: The amount of water in the human body ranges from 50-75%. The average adult human body is 50-65% water, averaging around 57-60%. The percentage of water in infants is much higher, typically around 75-78% water, dropping to 65% by one year of age. Body composition varies according to gender and fitness level, because fatty tissue contains less water than lean tissue. The average adult male is about 60% water.
The percentage of body weight that is water therefore varies inversely with body fat. In the average lean adult male around 60% of the body weight is water. The remaining body weight consists of 16-18% fat with 22-24% protein, carbohydrate and other solids.
