Find the average male human height of almost any country by using our interactive map below. Simply hover over the countries to find the average height.
For the purposes of color coding the map, the heights are displayed in cm rather than feet and inches. This allows for color formatting of the map which has been designed to show the taller countries in dark green, and the smaller countries in light green. The darker the shade, the taller that particular country is.
It's interesting to see an illustration of the countries in the East around the pacific such as China, Japan, Korea and Philippines that have a much smaller height on average.
