Average sitting height can vary by population, but it generally ranges between 80 cm to 100 cm for adults. How does sitting height relate to ergonomics? Understanding sitting height helps in designing furniture and workspaces that accommodate users comfortably.
The statistical sizes vary with age the average height for an elderly person would be up to 80mmm lower than that for a younger person. People sizes vary significantly for different nationalities, i.e Americans are generally larger than British who are larger than people from India. Over time the average sizes of people change.
Height Percentile Calculator to determine how tall or short you are versus your peers. Calculates height percentile by accounting for gender, age, and country. Estimate what percentage of the population or of your biological gender are taller or shorter than you.
This is illustrated in the following charts which show the year-on-year relative change in average male and female heights by region. Positive values here indicate an increase in average height from one year to the next; zero indicates no change; and negative indicates a decline.
