Average height of Iceland people according to gender
For genetic reasons there are differences between men and women when taking into account different values of the human body such as height, so to analyze whether the height of a person is around the average, you must take into account the racial factors or origin (country of origin, in this case Iceland) and the gender:
- Male: 180.5 cm
- Female: 165.9 cm
If a person from Iceland is not 173.2 cm tall, is he/she short?
Not necessarily, as 173.2 centimeters is an average height of people from Iceland. In order to have a correct assessment of whether a height is suitable for a person, family history and some medical variables such as possible diseases, for example, must be taken into account.
Therefore, a person from 173.2 cannot be defined as tall or short by reaching a body size above or below 173.2, this assessment should be made by a medical professional.
