Average height of North Korea 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 North Korea) and the gender:

• Male: 172 cm
• Female: 159 cm

If a person from North Korea is not 165.5 cm tall, is he/she short?

Not necessarily, as 165.5 centimeters is an average height of people from North Korea. 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 165.5 cannot be defined as tall or short by reaching a body size above or below 165.5, this assessment should be made by a medical professional.
