Average height of Papua New Guinea 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 Papua New Guinea) and the gender:

• Male: 163.6 cm
• Female: 154.9 cm

If a person from Papua New Guinea is not 159.3 cm tall, is he/she short?

Not necessarily, as 159.3 centimeters is an average height of people from Papua New Guinea. 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 159.3 cannot be defined as tall or short by reaching a body size above or below 159.3, this assessment should be made by a medical professional.
