The ICF makes up about 60 % of the total water in the human body.

Explanation:

The water content in a human body ranges 75% in infants, 60%-50% in an adult man and woman, whereas it 40% in old age. The ICF includes all fluids which is enclosed in a cell specifically in their plasma membrane. The ICF is the chief component of the cytosol and cytoplasm. The total content of ICF in a human body is 60%. The total amount of ICF in an adult male is 25 ltrs of fluid. The fluid volume is stable due to regulation of water in living cells.
