Human height by country
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 the 2007 growth references of the World Health Organization, a statistic reconstruction based on the USA old NCHS data samples of 1977, 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).[5][6] The total sample size was 22,917: 11,410 boys, 11,507 girls. For the indicator height-for-age, 8 boys (0.07%), including an 18 month-old with length 51.6 cm, and 14 girls (0.12%) had outlier height measurements that were set to missing in the data set. As a result, 321 observations for boys (2.8%) and 356 observations for girls (3.0%) were excluded. The growth curves for ages 5 to 19 years were thus constructed using data from 18 months to 24 years. The final sample used for fitting the growth curves included 30,907 observations (15,537 boys, 15,370 girls) for the height-for-age curves, 30,100 observations (15,136 boys, 14,964 girls) for the weight-for-age curves, and 30,018 observations (15,103 boys, 14,915 girls) for the BMI-for-age curves.[7][8] Such reference curves cannot be applied with the same effectiveness across all populations, as several studies demonstrated: growth reference selection introduces systematic measurement bias into many countries such as Israele,[9] Pacific Islander,[10], Poland,[11], Russia,[12], Spain[13] and so on.
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.[14]
According to 2023 geographical study by Asutosh Goswami et al., 95% of the global population has a height between 150 cm (4 ft 11 in) and 165 cm (5 ft 5 in).[15]
