Human height by country
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Below is a table which reports the average adult human height by country or geographical region.
Accuracy
Methodology and the demographic measured varies, so figures across countries are not necessarily comparable.
As with any statistical data, the accuracy of the findings may be challenged: test subjects may have been invited instead of random sampling, resulting in sampling bias. Some studies may allow subjects to self-report values. Generally speaking, self-reported height tends to be taller than measured height, although the overestimation of height depends on the reporting subject's height, age, gender and region.[1][2][3][4]
Worldwide
According to a 2016 study by NCD-RisC, the average adult height of people born in 1996 was 171.3 cm (5 ft 7+1⁄2 in) for men and 159.5 cm (5 ft 3 in) cm for women.[5]
According to the 2007 growth references of the World Health Organization, the median height of 19-year old boys raised under optimal environmental conditions was 176.5 cm (5 ft 9+1⁄2 in), with 98% having heights between 159.6 cm (5 ft 3 in) and 193.5 cm (6 ft 4 in). The median height of 19-year-old girls raised in the same conditions was 163.2 cm (5 ft 4+1⁄2 in), with 98% having heights between 147.9 cm (4 ft 10 in) and 178.4 cm (5 ft 10 in).[6][7]
