The height champion is Holland, where men are, on average, 1.83 m tall and women 1.70 m. At the other end of the list is Indonesia, curiously a former Dutch colony, where men are 1.58 m and women 1.47 m. In Brazil the male average is 1.72 m and the female 1.61 m, practically the same as the world average, which is 1.73 m for men and 1.60 m for women. If you are still curious, take a look at the table and see where the lowest and highest in the world are.
