* Size: Larger individuals have more cells.
* Health: Illnesses and conditions can affect cell count.

This number comes from a 2016 study that used sophisticated techniques to analyze cell types and their proportions in the body.
Keep in mind, this is just an estimate, and the actual number could be higher or lower.
