True or False: Pound for pound, the average woman contains more water than the average man.

The statement is false because, on average, men typically have a higher percentage of body water compared to women when considering similar body weights. One of the primary reasons for this difference is the proportion of body fat and lean body mass. Men generally possess more lean body mass, such as muscles, which contain more water, while women tend to have a higher percentage of body fat, which contains less water. This physiological difference leads to men having more total body water compared to women of the same weight. While age and activity level may influence hydration status, they do not change the fundamental averages of body water content between genders.
