Human height for both men and women has increased over the past century, in all countries. But, over the last few decades, human height in some countries has been stagnating. This is illustrated in the following charts which show the year-on-year relative change in average male and female heights by region.
Increase in mean heights of males born in 1996 vs. 1896. Male-to-female height ratio by year of birth. Mean adult height by year of birth, males vs. females. Percentage increase in mean male vs. female height over a century. Relative increase in mean heights of females born in 1996 vs. 1896.
In this paper, we used data on height in adulthood (18 years of age and older) from the NCD-RisC database for participants born between 1896 and 1996. We used 1472 population-based data sources with measurements on over 18.6 million adults born between 1896 and 1996 whose height had been measured.

14 Δεκ 2016 · Human height variation is determined by genetic and environmental factors, but it remains unclear whether their influences differ across birth-year cohorts. We conducted an individual-based pooled analysis of 40 twin cohorts including 143,390 complete twin pairs born 1886–1994.

Being taller is associated with enhanced longevity, and higher education and earnings. We reanalysed 1472 population-based studies, with measurement of height on more than 18.6 million participants to estimate mean height for people born between 1896 and 1996 in 200 countries.
