Netherlands height

Edit Post

who did the study? that methodology? which funded? what were the samples? how many subjects? an average of 1m84 is gigantic, we are talking here of medium

there is a difference between the average of all height and listed the most common height, especially as it is not a country known for its genetic stature, or to be in the sun, or for his diet, there is almost no factors that would justify such stature average

if you have links that I can read ...

it has not always been the case
and newspapers are not scientific evidence
i think there is a confusion between medium and median height


when I was in high school there was a school exchange with high school students in Amsterdam. I don't go in Netherlands but I saw the correspondents and the majority were below 1m85 (at the age of 16)

women average is (officialy) 168, not so tall.

why they are so tall compared to neighboring nations ?
Germans, Belgian, French, British are not so tall
