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.
By one year of age, that amount drops to about 65%. In adult men, about 60% of their bodies are water. However, fat tissue does not have as much water as lean tissue. In adult women, fat makes up more of the body than men, so they have about 55% of their bodies made of water. Babies and kids have more water (as a percentage) than adults.
