a curiosity :
South Sudan, there is a tribe called the dinca tribe, has been described as the highest in the world, with average height for men of 1.90 m and 1.80 m for women.
Quote from: lucindaris on September 25, 2018, 10:21:17 PMSo Dinaric Alps is a country... Nice study.
It's a translation error. I do not speak English well.
Dinaric Alps is a mountain range in southern Europe covering parts of Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Albania. Despite the name, they are separated from the Alps.
are regions of the world with the biggest stockings sorry for my mistakes!

Fitting the Task to the Man, 1987 (for heights in USA and Japan)
Eurostat Statistical Yearbook 2004 (for heights in Germany)
Netherlands Central Bureau for Statistics, 1996 (for average heights)
Mean Body Weight, Height, and body mass index, United States 1960 - 2002
UK Department of Health - Health Survey for England
Statistics Norway, Conscripts, by height, Per cent
Manuel's Website ..
some references you can find in the Wiki,
to ensure the translation I am not talking to use the wikipedia just to look for the references indicated the. some references are sadly outdated, as those in Brazil reported as 1.70 of the average research of 1989 - but currently it is already 1.75 in general and 1.77 in metropolitan regions research in 2016

Quote from: Body Builder on September 26, 2018, 11:30:33 PM2-3cm more than 1.69 which says the survey.
I don't think that the average Brazilian is not even 1.71.
Quote from: Knik on September 28, 2018, 01:33:19 PM
Yea, absolute . And I don't understand how the Bosnian/Croatian/slovenian/serbian average can be 181 (it seems already overestimated in my opinion) according to studies and the dinaric alps average be 186 ?
Quote from: CaptainAmerica on September 26, 2018, 05:40:17 PMAre height distributions left-skewed? While I don't doubt the true average for Americans is probably 5'10, I do feel like I see among young people more people who are 6ft+ than people I see under 5'8, though maybe it's just because larger people are easier to notice?
I mentioned that I erred the title of the topic, the correct one would be regions of the world with the highest stockings in height.
These studies are done with real measurements not asking the height, for example in Brazil the mandatory enrollment of all 18 year olds is made annually and the actual measurements are taken, the current regional studies show a very large growth mainly in the South region of Brazil. brazil where colonies are german, italian polonais, the means are between 1.74 and 1.77m and average of Brazil everything is in 1.75m.
In common sites will say the average of the Brazilian is between 1.69-1.70 but they are research of the 80's.
also on common sites with outdated surveys show U.S.A height
as 1.75 (5'9) but we know that regionally is not exactly so.
The average of the spain is smaller to return of 1.71 but in madrid the average is bigger,
Really ? you are questioning surveys that measure a large part of the population, for a simple visual experience, remember that the average is the value of sum is division by total, if there is a region 2 groups, a group of people with 1.70m and another group of 1.90m the average will be 1.80m even if you have very few people with exactly 1.80m (5''11)
and logic that has outdated values, the dates are next, surveys with more than 18 years have much greater margin of error
Quote from: ThatGuy on September 28, 2018, 06:17:00 PMYou can't just use a small sample size of your friends/family and extrapolate that to the entire country of Brazil. This is alarmingly common, its pretty scary. Using your method I could assume everybody is 6'0+ because of my cousins and uncles/aunts, my dad is 6'1-6'2 so most Americans must be 6'2 or taller!
he is only indicating what I had already said I am also from the south of Brazil, and it is normal to have people 5'10-5'11
the general average is only at 5'8-5'9 because there are regions in the north of the country where the height is very low between 5'7.
but the last generations are very large, we have compulsory military enlistment annually in Brazil, and we have the actual registration of all 18 year olds, and each year the height of the 18 year olds exceeds the general average of the Country which indicates that people are growing a lot around here, in average, you are always a little taller than your parents parents 5'8 have children 5'10
but understand the general average of the country is calculated with actual measures and updated annually
interviews are not used where they ask about their height
Quote from: Knik on October 12, 2018, 12:55:07 PMI can tell at 2000 % that there is NO WAY 10 cm of difference between Dutch and French. I know that Dutch are taller than French, but
I put French between 1.74 and 1.77 in some regions, it is not a low average,
we know that French people have high average height, they are facts.
there is nothing to discuss further knowing that Normandy is a region formed by mostly vickings which in its time already was 1.75-1.77 average which was already a high average.
