Did you know that the country with the tallest people overall is the Netherlands?

Males average 6 feet (183 cm) and females average just over 5 feet, 7 inches
(170 cm).
The average American male height is 5 feet, 9 inches (175 cm) while the
average female height is 5 feet, 4 inches (163 cm).
The Dutch may have the tallest country, but the tallest people in the world
reside in an Eastern European republic called Montenegro which is part of
the country of Serbia and Montenegro (the former Yugoslavia). If Montenegro
were it’s own country, it would have the tallest people in the world. And the
Dutch wouldn’t even be close.
The average male height in Montenegro is 6 feet, 3 inches (191 cm). The
average female height is just under 5 feet, 11 inches (180 cm). The average
female there is taller than the average American male!
Other Facts:
There are over 5.5 million American males that are 6 feet, 2 inches (188

There are over 1.5 million American females 5 feet, 9 inches (175 cm)

generation seems to be getting taller. The main factor in that is nutrition,
which we’ll discuss in a moment.
