Average human height by country

Below are the average adult human heights by country or geographical region. The original studies and sources should be consulted for details on methodology and the exact populations measured, surveyed, or considered.

Accuracy

As with any statistical data, the accuracy of such data may be questionable for various reasons:

  • Some studies may allow subjects to self-report values.[1] 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.[2][3][4][5]
  • Test subjects may have been invited instead of chosen at random, resulting in sampling bias.
  • Some countries may have significant height gaps between different regions. For instance, one survey shows there is 10.8 cm (4+1⁄2 in) gap between the tallest state and the shortest state in Germany.[6] Under such circumstances, the mean height may not represent the total population unless sample subjects are appropriately taken from all regions with using weighted average of the different regional groups.
  • Different social groups can show different mean height. According to a study in France, executives and professionals are 2.6 cm (1 in) taller, and university students are 2.55 cm (1 in) taller[lower-alpha 1] than the national average.[7] As this case shows, data taken from a particular social group may not represent a total population in some countries.
  • The height of a person can vary over the course of a day, due to factors such as a height decrease from exercise done directly before measurement (i.e. inversely correlated), or a height increase since lying down for a significant period of time (i.e. positively correlated). For example, one study revealed a mean decrease of 1.54 centimetres (0.61 in) in the heights of 100 children from getting out of bed in the morning to between 4 and 5 p.m. that same day.[8] Such factors may not have been controlled in some of the studies.

Surveys and studies

Estimated average height of 19-year-olds by country
Estimated average height of male 19-year-olds by country in 2019 according to NCD-RisC
Estimated average height of female 19-year-olds by country in 2019 according to NCD-RisC

The following study uses a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate the trends from 1985 to 2019 in mean height and mean BMI in 1-year age groups for ages 5–19 years across 193 countries. All information is based on a study by NCD Risk Factor Collaboration, where 1,344 academics collated the results of 2,181 measurement-based studies covering 65 million people to project mean height.[209] A statistical model that accounted for non-linear changes in height and BMI throughout childhood and adolescence.[210] Countries are sorted according to the average of the male and female mean height.

Explanatory notes
  1. Although in this study the mean height of university students aged 20–29 was slightly below the national mean height.
  2. In this case, data that are representative of the majority of the country or regions adult population are those that factor in over 50% of the country or region's population aged 18 or over.
  3. Data are calculated as of a data collection year of each survey. If data were taken in several years in a survey, the oldest avertable year would be chosen for the calculation.
  4. Kosovo is the subject of a territorial dispute between the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia. The Republic of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence on 17 February 2008. Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory. The two governments began to normalise relations in 2013, as part of the 2013 Brussels Agreement. Kosovo is currently recognised as an independent state by 100 out of the 193 United Nations member states. In total, 113 UN member states have recognised Kosovo at some point, of which 13 later withdrew their recognition.

  6. The mean ages of subjects are 17.5(±0.6). Thus most of the subjects are between 17 and 18.
  7. The total sample size is 1,551 (18+) and the ratio of subjects aged 18+ is 100%.
  8. The total sample size is 10,415 (12–70), and the ratio of subjects aged 18–70 is 78.9%.
