Tallest Average Male Height

Understand tallest average male height: what the measure counts, how to read it and where to check the source.

Height comparisons depend on age, sex, birth cohort and measurement method. A study of young adult men is different from an average across all adults. Self-reported heights can also differ from measured heights. Nutrition, health and living conditions across childhood matter, so a height ranking describes the accumulated experience of a cohort.
