According to the Fifth National Physical Fitness Monitoring Bulletin issued in 2020, in 2020, the national average height of men aged 20 to 44 was 171.18 centimeters, and any height that does not deviate too much from the average height is normal.
The height of the human body is determined by the combination of innate genetics and acquired environmental and nutritional conditions.
Generally speaking, the height of children of taller parents is not too short. The acquired nutrition and environment are more important for height development. Adolescence is a critical period for height development. In addition to supplementing sufficient nutrients such as protein and calcium, it is also necessary to strengthen physical exercise to promote height growth.
When height deviates too much from the average height of peers, it may be caused by diseases, such as insufficient secretion of growth hormone can lead to dwarfism, insufficient secretion of thyroid hormone can lead to cretinism, and excessive secretion of growth hormone can lead to gigantism. Therefore, when you find abnormal height, you must go to the hospital for examination in time to avoid delaying your condition.
