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.

My friends age are 16 to 19. And they fathers are 5'7 to 5'9 (adult male average height in Brazil)
My father are 5'8 he is the average son of my grampa(he was 5'5 when young, now 5'3) and the more taller brother of my father are 5'10 and the more short are 5'6 
Turkey no reason in this list 
then let me tell you that it is 1.74 cm. and now I'm about 6 cm short. I hope I catch up in a year. Note: I am using google translate

You 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!

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also on common sites with outdated surveys show U.S.A height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)
For what reason people in Madrid would be so much taller ? this is totally wrong
but andalusian can be a bit different
It's an endless debate and it seems that each country have a different methodology so it's useless ... but Turkish are surely under that
In Poland height jumped to about 179cm in only 20 years.
In the south of Brazil the average size of a caucasian man are 5'9 to 5'11 i go, but the in the North the "Native blood" is more strong, and yes. the average size of man are 5'6 to 5'9. and for womens 5'0 to 5'3

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
