While average height can vary slightly depending on the source and methodology used in data collection, the Netherlands consistently ranks at or near the top. Other countries with very tall populations include Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Factors contributing to a population's average height include genetics, nutrition, and overall health during developmental years.
Here's a brief overview based on available data:
