Below are two tables which report the average adult human height by country or geographical region. With regard to the first table , original studies and sources should be consulted for details on methodology and the exact populations measured, surveyed, or considered.
The average height of 19-year-old Dutch orphans in 1865 was 160 cm (5 ft 3 in). [77] From 1830 to 1857, the average height of a Dutch person decreased, even while Dutch real GNP per capita was growing at an average rate of more than 0.5% per year. The worst decline was in urban areas that in 1847, the urban height penalty was 2.5 cm (1.0 in).
English: The map above shows the average (mean) height of a male 19-year-old in 2019 in each country and territory in the world for which data is available. The source of the data is a pooled analysis of 2,181 measurement-based scientific studies covering over 65 Million participants from 1985 to 2019.
The average male Olympic rower is 1.92 m (6 ft 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), and the average female Olympic rower is 1.73 m (5 ft 8 in), [45] [self-published source?] well over the average height. However, for the coxswain of the boat, it is advantageous to be shorter since having a lower body mass would contribute to a faster time for the overall crew.
In the most extreme population comparisons, for example, the average female height in Bolivia is 142.2 cm (4 ft 8.0 in) while the average male height in the Dinaric Alps is 185.6 cm (6 ft 1.1 in), an average difference of 43.4 cm (1 ft 5.1 in).
MPH is given by (mother’s height + father’s height) divided by 2. MPH is unisex. Boys need an upward correction, girls need a downward correction. In view of an average height difference between adult men and women of 13 cm, TH for boys is usually given by MPH + 6.5cm, TH for girls by MPH - 6.5cm.
3. There is a high possibility of miscalculation. The original data says the average male height is 176cm (max 176cm, min 169cm, and standard deviation 4.8). Even if 9 students were 176cm and 1 student were 169, the average height would be 175cm, and standard deviation would be 2.1. Thus, obviously this data is inaccurate.
English: :Average height of men by year of birth Mean height of adult men by year of birth. Data for the latest cohort (the year 1996) is therefore the mean height of men aged 18 in 2014.
