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.
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 relative annual change in the 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. Positive values indicate an increase in average height; negative values indicate a decline.
Francis Galton's (1889) data showing the relationship between offspring height (928 individuals) as a function of mean parent height (205 sets of parents). Heritability may be estimated by comparing parent and offspring traits (as in Fig. 2).

Growth charts can also be used to predict the expected adult height and weight of a child because, in general, children maintain a fairly constant growth curve.
