Introduction
The average height of a human adult is 5’9″ for men and 5’4″ for women. However, the range of average heights can vary significantly depending on factors such as genetics, gender, race, or geographical location. For example, in the United States, people of African American or Hispanic descent tend to have slightly lower average heights than those of Caucasian descent due to genetic differences. Additionally, men tend to be taller than women on average. On a global scale, the average height of an adult can range from 4’10” to over 6’2″. Heredity plays a large role in determining an individual’s height; however, environmental factors can also contribute to one’s final height. Health and nutrition are key elements that can affect height growth potential throughout childhood and adolescence. Different age groups will have different average heights such as children aged 2-18 who have shorter heights than adults aged 18+ due to their still developing bones and muscles. Finally, extreme heights are classified as tall or short stature; this is determined based on comparison with the general population and usually requires medical evaluation by a doctor if it falls outside these boundaries.

Average Height in the US
The average height of an American adult male is roughly 5’9″, while the average height of an adult female is a bit shorter at about 5’4″. On average, Americans are taller than their ancestors, who stood around 5’7″ for men and 5’2″ for women. Studies have shown that the average heights of both men and women in the US have been increasing since 1960, and the increase has been greater for men than for women. This increase can be attributed to improved nutrition, advances in medical technology, and a changing lifestyle which includes more indoor activities. The tallest states in the US are Montana, and Utah, both of them having an average height of 5’7.7″. On the other hand, the shortest state is Hawaii at 5’6″ on average. While race does not necessarily determine overall height in US adults, Black Americans tend to be taller on average than White Americans or Asians due to genetic factors related to ancestry as well as socioeconomic factors such as access to quality healthcare and nutrition. Finally, studies show that American children are now entering adulthood around 0.5 inches taller on average than their parents did when they were kids – continuing an upward trend of increased height in each new generation of Americans.
