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.
While the average height of men around the world increased by 5%, the percentage change varies worldwide, with the greatest relative increases in Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. In women, the largest relative increases were seen in Europe, South America, and East Asia.
The following table shows the average sizes, weights and BMI from 128 countries. All figures refer to men and women between the ages of 18 and 25 years. In the US, the average male is 1.77 m tall. The average US-american woman reaches 14 cm less with a height of 1.63 m.
The Netherlands ranks as the country with the tallest average human height, followed by Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Countries with the shortest average height include Timor Leste, Laos, and the Solomon Islands.
Learn how the average height of a man and a woman in the US compares with other countries around the globe and where the tallest and shortest people live. Interestingly, the global average height of women is 159.5 cm (5 ft 2.8 in) and of men 171 cm (5 ft 7.3 in) – it’s lower than we’d expect.
Key findings from the data include: According to comprehensive global data, Netherlands men stand the tallest with an average height of 183.78 cm, followed closely by Montenegro at 183.30 cm and Bosnia and Herzegovina at 182.47 cm.
The effect of ethnicity on stature was studied in population groups of 601 individuals in the People of India project by the Anthropological Survey of India. In the ethnic groups from varied geographical and climatic zones, adult stature ranged from “very short” (130–149 cm) to tall (170–179.9 cm). [5]
