Hello&#33;

Here some world Male 18-30 and Female 18-30 averages:

Asia:

Chinese(estern boys):

M:167.5CM(5&#39; 5 3/5") F: 154.5CM(5&#39;0 3/5")

Korean: 170CM(5&#39;6 3/5") F: 157CM(5&#39;1"3/5")

Japan: 172.5CM(5&#39;7 3/5") F: 162CM( 5&#39;3 3/5")*

Europe:

Spanish/Greek:176CM(5&#39;9 1/5") F:163CM (5&#39;4")

UK: 178CM(5&#39;10") F: 165CM (5&#39;4 4/5")

Sweden/Norway/Denmark/Finland/Germany/:180CM(5&#39;10 3/5") F:167CM(5&#39;5 3/5")

Holland: 183CM(6&#39;0") F: 170CM(5&#39;6 4/5")tallest in the world&#33;

USA/Canada: 178CM 5&#39;10" F:165CM(5&#39;4 4/5")

South America: No reliable data exists the only data is from certain adoption agencies and is made from to small groups to have any relecvance. But probably they are about the same as the Spanish people&#33;

Africa: No reliable data exists. There is many groups of people in Africa some of them really short and some extremly tall even taller then the dutch ones . But in recent decades the groups have blended in to generall populations for each country so no one knows their averages anymore. One famous example are the Tutsie population. Some groups within the Tutsies population lived very close together and as a result got inbreed and one of the things that came out of these mutations in combination with the climate where extreme height. The average height amongst these people once grew up to 6&#39;11"(211CM) for men and 6&#39;5"(195.5CM) for women in the 19&#39;th century so they where true giants. However at the end before war broke those groups appart they had fallen in average and at the end in the early 90&#39;s the average where about 6&#39;5" fo men and 5&#39;11" for women still extremely large but not as large as before. Now they have blended in the rest of the population in their respective country for instance Kenya so those giant sized populations no longer exists&#33;, Nigeria has some groups of people with large tall individuals and it is estimated that some groups in Nigeria is about 6&#39;1"(185.5CM) in average for male but that is not scientifically proven yeat&#33;.

*regarding Japan. As you might have noticed the difference in height between Japanese gilrs and men are smaller then for the rest of the i-countrys. This is unknown why it is so. But one theory is that it is the result of sexual preference amogst japanese males that have driven their height further then the male population another theory is that the female Estrogen hormone reacts more strongly to the recent diet changes then men do. The Japanese population has grown very fast during the past 2 decades as a result of more protein intake and less rice in their diet(they eat more like we do)and as a result it is great difference in size between generations. The older ones 40+ are smaller or much smaller then the young ones.

Hello&#33;

Growth hormone are released trough out the day by the pituitary gland which in turns stimulates the release of IGF-1 an important hormone that stimulates the bone plates to grow more cartilage which then turns in to bone mass. When we are finished growing we still is in need of Growth Hormone(but lower levels) for our well beeing as it is needed for building of mucsle mass,to repair damage from injuries and for our mood. If we lack growth hormone we will get depressed and experience low psychological drive. But that is uncommon&#33; Most depressions are not the result of a lack in Growth Hormone&#33;.

height isn&#39;t necessarily genetic - i&#39;m genetically Chinese but i was born and raised in England - my parents are about 5&#39;5" (my family is so average ) and i&#39;m 5&#39;10"

lazy people tend to be taller, because they use less energy doing stuff, so it all goes into growing tall

Following on from Joakim Agren&#39;s information about height. I&#39;d like to point out something he missed:

If you live on top of a hill you grow to be fucking huge cause there is less gravity. People who live on the 10th floor of an apt block are, on average, 3 inches taller than those at ground level. Also if you stay in bed your whole life you will grow to be 10 and a half foot tall.

Considering that there are 14 foot tall coma victims in Nepalese hospitals it just makes sense. Bigfoot lives in the mountains, coincidence too? Yetis live in snow covered peaks. The list goes on and on..
