Growth norms for teenage girls. Average in Russia, table by age. Causes and treatment of developmental delays

Modern society every day proves the validity of the judgment that people are greeted by their clothes and seen off by their minds; the realities of our world are such, and everyone must fit into the framework and strive for perfection. The twenty-first century is a time not only for specialists in their field, but also for those who follow the standard, be it weight, height, makeup or hairstyle. Many try to follow trends and basic rules of capricious fashion. To some extent, it is easier for young ladies to strive for the ideal, because the cherished numbers are 90-60-90

Every young person knows it by heart, but now these parameters are also supplemented by debates about the ideal height for girls.

Growth standards for girls (from 12 to 17 years old)

Monitoring growth indicators helps monitor the child's health. It is especially important to take measurements at stages complicated by changes in hormonal balance.

Stunting can be explained by several reasons:

• hereditary factor;
• individual characteristics;
• the presence of diseases.

The average height of girls in Russia is determined by average statistical measurements over a long period of time. Adolescence is the transition period from childhood to adulthood.

Average height of girls in Russia and other countries

The period is divided into 2 parts:

• junior (from 12 to 14 years old);
• senior (from 15 to 17 years old).

The main studies of growth norms in international organizations concern the time period from 12 to 17 years and are divided by gender. For teenage girls, norms are calculated, as well as scores that go beyond normal boundaries.

Small spool but precious

History knows a huge number of short people who won battles, shone at balls and caught the gaze of enthusiastic young maidens. And in our time, the attention of young people is attracted by inches, which evoke sincere feelings of tenderness and care, and this is what gives the young man the opportunity to feel like a real knight. Therefore, for each male representative, the ideal height for girls is different, some prefer tall, some short, but everyone eventually finds their person, their “dear spool”.

Growth hormone genes and isoforms

Growth hormone is responsible for lengthening the body of adolescents. At this age, the zones are open and characterized by accelerated linear growth. Growth hormone is called somatotropin, which is produced by the anterior lobe of the cerebral appendage, the pituitary gland. In a narrower sense, somatotropin is a heterogeneous protein that is synthesized by the adenohypophysis.

The structure of the hormone implies the presence of five hormone isoforms. Their chemical formulas depend on the percentage of amino acid residues. All 5 genomes arose as a result of successful evolution and form a complex diagram of the hormonal mechanism of the human body.

Growth hormone genes and isoforms

Among the main functions of somatotropin or growth hormone are the following:

1. Activation of length growth, enlargement of internal organs. Somatoropin stimulates the production of natural collagen, which entails bone growth and an increase in the cellular mass of internal organs.
2. Prevents the deposition of fat under the skin. This occurs by promoting protein synthesis and inhibiting its breakdown. This mechanism increases the body's ability to carry out metabolic processes.
3. Increased muscle mass relative to fat mass. This type of action becomes possible due to the fact that the hormone affects the state of nitrogen balance in the body. The content of urea and amino acids in urine and plasma decreases markedly.
4. Promoting glucose conservation for brain metabolism. This mechanism is considered especially important, since a lack of glucose leads to negative effects on the chain reactions of the body.

The correct functioning of all components of growth hormone leads to normalization of body length by the end of adolescence, and also becomes a mechanism of protection against the occurrence of associated abnormalities.

Somatoropin largely depends on inverse regulators, which act as:

• somatoliberin (stimulation);
• somatostatin (inhibition).

Women's body types

There are 3 main body types: 1. Thin-boned (asthenic) body type. Women with this body type have long limbs, thin bones, a long and thin neck, and relatively weakly developed muscles. As a rule, representatives of the thin-boned type are light in weight; they are active, active, and even with increased nutrition, they do not gain weight immediately, since they spend energy faster than they accumulate. 2. Normal (normosthenic) body type. Women of this physique are lucky. As a rule, they have a beautiful, proportionally built figure. The main body dimensions are distinguished by the correct ratio. 3. Large-boned (hypersthenic). Representatives of this body type have larger transverse body dimensions than normosthenics and asthenics. They are distinguished by wide, thick and heavy bones; their shoulders, chest and hips are wide; legs are short. Women with this body type are most likely to be overweight. They have to be especially strict about their diet.

To determine your body type, it is enough to measure the circumference of the wrist of your working hand: for asthenics it is less than 16 cm, for normosthenics it is from 16 to 18.5 cm, for hypersthenics it is more than 18.5 cm.

Why do girls lag behind in growth development?

At the stage of development and enlargement of internal organs, girls may begin to lag in growth. The main reasons for this phenomenon can be not only hormonal, but also depend on the genetic material of the parents. Experts divide the causes of delay into endocrine and non-endocrine types.

1. Genetic short stature. A similar reason is explained by belonging to a nation of short people.
2. The presence of problems in the mother at the stage of intrauterine development of the fetus. Stopping or deviations from normal growth often occurs in premature babies or in those children who were born as a result of a difficult birth with a documented fact of oxygen starvation.
3. Chronic diseases. This applies to adolescents suffering from anemia of various types, heart disease and complex genetic diseases.
4. Lack of nutrition, unbalanced diet, junk food lacking vitamins and microelements.

   
   Why do girls lag behind in growth development?

Endocrine causes can be diagnosed by specialists and can be treated adequately:

1. Lack of growth hormone. It can be congenital due to problems arising during pregnancy and childbirth, as well as acquired due to complex injuries or diseases of the brain.
2. Stopping the production of somatotropin. Disorders that inhibit the production of growth hormone.
3. Excess of hormones. We are talking about the types produced by the adrenal glands.
4. Diseases that cause abnormal blood sugar levels or impaired kidney function in concentrating urine.
5. Hypothyroidism or pseudohypothyroidism. Diseases in which the levels of certain hormones are reduced or increased.

How to find your ideal?

What height is considered ideal? The question is very controversial and not entirely objective. However, being an ideal for yourself and your loved ones is something that is quite possible and achievable. Of course, every modern girl wants to be a queen, and in order to become one, you need to be more confident, and one of the main components is external beauty. Even our great-grandmothers seriously thought about how to look, attract the attention of prominent suitors, and outperform their rivals. The ratio of a girl’s ideal weight and height is one of the most important criteria not only in ancient times, but also in modern times. Only the standards and formulas for calculating such parameters are gradually changing. In the past, the ideal was calculated using the formula height minus 100, which resulted in an ideal weight figure.

Over time, instead of 100, they decided to subtract 110. However, after nutritionists began to seriously work on these issues, it was proven that the ideal weight and height of a girl are purely individual, and it is impossible to calculate them using such a simple formula.

Diagnosis of growth retardation in girls

The average height of girls in Russia at the stage from 12 to 17 is determined thanks to annual medical diagnostics. If deviations from the norm are suspected, additional diagnostic techniques are used. Diagnosis of dwarfism or short stature is carried out comprehensively and cannot be determined using one of the listed methods.

Diagnosis of growth retardation in girls

1. Measuring height and weight in girls. It is carried out on the basis of educational institutions and is one of the first methods for diagnosing retardation.
2. X-ray of the left hand with details of the structure of the radius bone. This method is used to determine the age of a bone. Short stature is identified by delayed bone age.
3. MRI of the brain with determination of the condition of the pituitary lobe. X-ray or magnetic resonance imaging is performed as prescribed by a doctor as one of the methods for determining the condition of the pituitary gland.
4. General blood and urine tests. Helps determine TSH levels.
5. Determination of blood glucose.

Additionally, girls undergo an ultrasound of the pelvic organs and an ultrasound of the thyroid gland. At subsequent stages of determining the causes of growth retardation, stimulation tests are carried out, the purpose of which is to identify the hidden capabilities of the pituitary lobe for the production of somatotropin.

The average height of girls in Russia is determined by the established norm. In case of deviation, diagnostic methods are provided for in public medical institutions, as well as in private clinics.

Average cost of procedures at examination and diagnostic centers:

• blood and urine tests: from 290 rubles;
• MRI of the brain: from RUB 3,100;
• Ultrasound of the pelvic organs: from 500 rubles;
• Ultrasound of the thyroid gland: from 600 rubles.

Ideal female figure

Every girl wants to be beautiful and puts a lot of effort into this. In the world of fitness and fashion, there are ideal proportions of the female body (legs, waist, chest, hips, etc.).

Main female body types

There are five types of female body types:

Triangle. The characteristic signs of this body in women are:

• voluminous hips;
• narrow shoulders;
• small waist size;
• The upper part of the body is longer than the lower.

V-type:

• hip volume is less than shoulder volume;
• the upper body is shorter than the lower;
• the waist is not expressed.

Rectangle:

• approximately equal width of body parts;
• the waist is not expressed;
• protruding belly;
• with low weight, strong muscle relief.

Eight. Classic type, which is in demand in the modeling business (body proportions 90/60/90):

• the lower part of the body is proportional to the upper;
• slim waist;
• waist to hip ratio is 0.7.

Circle:

• pronounced breasts;
• Thin legs;
• small shoulder volume;
• voluminous waist

Classic proportions for women

Ideal body proportions for women were developed by D. A. Konokhin.

According to his calculations, per centimeter of total body length there are:

• neck – 0.17-0.21 cm;
• shoulder – 0.17-0.21 cm;
• hips – 0.31-0.35 cm;
• chest – 0.45-0.5 cm;
• pelvis – 0.55-0.65 cm;
• waist – 0.36-0.41 cm.

To understand how well your body fits the ideal shape, multiply your height (cm) by the above values ​​​​from the table. Then measure the circumference of the body parts you are interested in. The result will show how close or far you are from the standard.

Refined waist

Every woman's body type is different and unique. The ideal parameters of women differ significantly from the male figure.

Below are the waist width standards for girls of different heights:

• height 150-155 cm – waist 57-58 cm;
• 155-160 cm – 58-60 cm;
• 160-165 cm – 60-62 cm;
• 165-170 cm – 60-64 cm;
• 170-175 cm – 64-66 cm;
• 175-180 cm – 66-68 cm.

Permissible deviations can reach five centimeters. The measurements will be accurate if there is no excess fat around your waist.

Hip to chest ratio

In the world of fashion and modeling, the most important parameters for women are hips, chest and waist.

The circumference of the forearm should be equal to the circumference of the hips. First of all, it looks aesthetically beautiful. If your body type is different, there is no need to be upset. In fitness, there are many specific workouts to get your hips and chest into the ideal ratio.

Growth parameters

There is no concept of ideal height for a woman. After all, each person is individual in himself. Also, average height may differ in different countries and peoples.

To determine whether you have an ideal ratio of height to other parts of the body, you need to resort to the “golden ratio” method (Adonis index), which we wrote about earlier in this article. For example, shoulder width should be 1/7 of height.

Leg length

The ideal proportions of a girl’s legs depend on whether she has a thin or wide bone. Here is an example of the ideal proportions of legs to body:

• if a girl has a wide bone, then her legs should be about 1.5-4.5 cm longer than half the length of her full height;
• if the bone is medium, then their length should be 4-7 cm longer;
• thin – 50% height + 6.5-10 cm.

When to see a doctor

Average height indicators for girls in Russia become the starting point for parents of teenagers to become suspicious. After analyzing and evaluating these figures, it becomes clear that the teenager is stunted in growth.

When to see a doctor

In addition, in girls, stunting may be accompanied by accompanying symptoms:

• complete absence of development of secondary sexual characteristics;
• voice change;
• the appearance of weight problems (excessive accumulation of fat deposits or abnormal weight loss);
• absence of menstruation at the age of 15-16 years.

At the stage of suspicion, the teenager’s parents should consult an endocrinologist. This is a specialist who studies the patient’s hormonal background and ensures that hormone production activity is normal.

Annual school examinations of socially adapted children studying in state budget schools provide an opportunity to compare measurement characteristics to analyze growth trends by specialized specialists. This makes the doctor’s work easier and helps to draw up a diagram according to which the lag develops.

Formulas for ideal female body proportions

Oddly enough, there is no formula for ideal proportions of the female body. Or perhaps it was intended by nature itself that achieving this perfection, applicable to absolutely all women on the planet, is impossible and illogical. After all, then everyone should be similar to each other, like clones, with only minor changes in parameters. But all women are unique, each of them is one of a kind. Therefore, searching for ideal female proportions is irrational.

Ideal female proportions are those given to everyone at birth. For a girl, the body and figure are only a shell in which inimitable attractiveness and grace are stored.

But it is important to note that you need to take care of your figure in order to maintain natural beauty and fill your body with health. And this means leading an active and correct lifestyle. Determining your relationship to one of three physiological body types helps you learn more about your body type:

Determining your relationship to one of three physiological body types helps you learn more about your body type:

An ectomorph is easy to distinguish - below average weight in proportion to height, skinny build. He tends to have a high metabolism, so eating large amounts of food does not cause weight gain.

• low percentage of subcutaneous fat;
• narrow constitution;
• narrow hips, collarbones;
• small joints (wrist/ankles);
• string abdominal muscles;
• long upper and lower limbs;
• small breasts and buttocks;
• hyperactivity;
• difficulty gaining muscle mass.

1. Mesomorph.

Mesomorph - physiological indicators average between ectomorphic and endomorphic types, reflects the qualities of both. Has the ability to quickly gain muscle mass and additional weight. Has a larger bone structure than endomorphs, but the percentage of body fat is similar to the ectomorph type.

• wide collarbones and shoulders;
• symmetrical constitution;
• slim waist;
• long, round abdominal muscles;
• low fat percentage;
• big muscles.

1. Endomorph.

The endomorph body type is considered the complete opposite of the ectomorph. It is bulkier in appearance, has a small percentage of muscle mass, but a high ratio of fat.

• enlarged chest;
• wider/thicker joints;
• hips wider than collarbones;
• short limbs;
• a large amount of fat;
• large skeleton;
• low muscle score due to adipose tissue;
• frequent fatigue;
• insatiable appetite.

The ratio of height and leg length

For most men, female height and ideal leg length are not a determining factor in the attractiveness of the opposite sex. If a girl does not have long model legs, then there is no need to give in to despair. As many men as there are, there are so many opinions about ideal beauty and the female figure. Some people like petite ladies, while others are seduced by the gracefulness of tall ladies.

There is a table to measure the ratio of height and leg length:

Prevention of growth retardation in girls

The average height of girls in Russia is a measurement that has been carried out for many decades. Experts recommend preventive actions aimed at eliminating problems with growth development. Their goal is to control the child’s health.

Balanced and nutritious nutrition

1. Balanced and nutritious nutrition. Provides the body with a stable set of useful micro and macroelements, amino acids, and vitamins necessary for growth.
2. Full sleep. This is an important condition for the production of growth hormone in the body, since the main peak of its supply occurs at 10-11 pm.
3. Active life. Physical education promotes the activity of the endocrine system and the lobes of the brain responsible for motor activity.
4. Timely treatment of emerging viral diseases.

Is it true that tall people are luckier?

Psychologists' research did not end with the study of relationships and went further. After the ideal height for girls and boys was identified, researchers noticed that representatives of the fairer sex, whose height is 163 cm, are much luckier and happier than those who do not reach such figures.

This supposed truth is easily explained by the factor of confidence, because it has long been proven: the taller a person is, the more confident he is. And luck, being largely a psychological factor, manifests itself more often in the life of a tall person. At the same time, no one can dispute a certain simple fact. We are talking about the so-called Napoleon complex, when a person, to put it mildly, with short stature achieves enormous success and breaks stereotypes, proving to the world his independence and originality.

Methods for treating growth retardation in girls

When problems are detected, specialists assess the risks of developing further deviations. Treatment is prescribed in accordance with the reasons that provoked growth retardation.

Physiological method

• normalization of diet;
• adjustment of physical activity;
• taking recommended medications.

  
  Biologically active additives

Dietary supplements contain complexes of essential amino acids, proteins and minerals. They become the basis for improving metabolic processes and are suitable for use at a stage when growth zones have not yet closed.

Surgical method

It involves surgical intervention using the Elizarov apparatus. The method is based on artificially increasing bone length. The rehabilitation period after the intervention lasts more than 1 year. Normal life activities are complicated when using this method.

Drug therapy

When medications are indicated, patients are administered analogue medications that replicate the chemical formula of natural growth hormone. As a rule, recombinant somatropin or synthetic somatrem is used.

How to calculate ideal weight for women and men depending on age and height

The body changes over time - its energy consumption decreases by 10% every 10 years of life. Based on these considerations, approximately 10% of our weight is added to our mass every 10 years. First, these are the same 5-7 kilograms relative to the ideal weight, and then - relative to current indicators. So you should also lose fat carefully, starting from the already mentioned 10%, but already within a year. Yes, and it’s better to strive not for the figure indicators at the distant age of eighteen, but to calculate your new optimal weight. There are several completely scientific formulas for this. Although they will not give the exact value of your ideal, they will indicate the desired reference point.

Medications

Among the drugs for growth correction, there are several of the most effective.

Norditropin

Created on the basis of somatotropin. Promotes activation of linear growth of the skeletal frame.

Norditropin

The mechanism of action of the drug is based on different types of influence:

• provoking the production of your own growth hormone;
• reducing the process of fat deposition;
• increase in muscle mass.

Treatment lasts until the growth zones are closed or until the predicted result is achieved. Injections are carried out in the period from 20 to 22 pm, since during this period the natural hormone is produced. Cost of 5 mg – from 4180 rub.

Genotropin

This is a drug created on the basis of recombinant somatropin with the addition of excipients in the form of glycerin and manitol. The drug is administered subcutaneously as prescribed by the attending physician. The dosage depends on the diagnosis, the duration of treatment is calculated based on an analysis of existing problems with growth retardation.

An important role in the prescription is played by the dependence on the time remaining until the growth zones close. The cost of 1 cartridge is 4250 rubles.

Rastan

A drug based on somatropin. It is administered subcutaneously; injection sites are recommended to be changed periodically. The duration of treatment is determined in each specific case and depends on the prognosis compiled by specialists. Cost for 1 package of 3 ml – from 8000 rubles.

Answers on questions

What specific weight is ideal for me?

The calculator calculates the ideal weight range for you based on your height. From this range you are free to choose any specific weight, depending on your preferences, beliefs and requirements for your figure. For example, adherents of a model figure tend to keep their weight at the lower limit.

If your priority is health and healthy life expectancy, then your ideal weight is calculated based on medical statistics. In this case, the optimal weight is calculated based on a BMI of 23.

Can the assessment received be trusted?

Yes. Adult weight estimates are based on the results of authoritative studies from the World Health Organization (WHO). The weight of children and adolescents from birth to 18 years of age is assessed using a separate special method, also developed by WHO.

Why is gender not taken into account?

BMI assessment of adults is carried out in the same way for both men and women - this is justified by the results of statistical studies. At the same time, when assessing the weight of children and adolescents, gender and age are of fundamental importance.

Some other weight calculator gives a different result. What to believe?

There are a huge number of calculators designed to give weight estimates based on height and gender. But their formulas, as a rule, were developed in the last century by individuals or teams based on criteria that are unknown to you or do not suit you (for example, formulas for evaluating athletes).

The WHO recommendations used in this calculator were developed for ordinary modern people, taking into account the conditions of modern life, medical advances and based on recent observations of the population of all continents of the planet. Therefore, we trust only this technique.

I believe the result should be different.

The assessment is made solely on the basis of the height and weight data you provide (as well as age and gender for children). If you receive unexpected results, please double-check all entered data. Also, make sure that you are not one of the women whose weight cannot be assessed through body mass index.

My result is underweight, but I want to lose more weight

There is nothing unusual in this; many professional models, dancers, and ballerinas do just that. However, in this case, it is recommended to lose weight only under the supervision of a nutritionist and endocrinologist, so as not to harm your health.

Please note that most people's bodies are not able to fully function in a state of underweight. And only a few, due to the characteristics of genetics (or disease, ecology, lifestyle) can live comfortably with a deficit of body weight: without risk to health and without experiencing malaise, dizziness and constant hunger

My result is normal, but I consider myself fat (or thin)

If you have concerns about your figure, we recommend taking up fitness after consulting with a good nutritionist.

Please note that some elements of the figure are practically impossible to correct only with the help of fitness, exercise, diet, or a combination of these. Your goals should be analyzed by an experienced doctor to assess their reality, consequences and prescribe only the right procedures

My result is pre-obesity (or obesity), but I don’t agree with it

If you are an athlete (or an amateur weightlifter) with increased muscle mass, then weight assessment by BMI is simply not intended for you (this is mentioned in). In any case, for an accurate individual weight assessment, contact a nutritionist - only in this case will you receive an authoritative result with a doctor’s seal.

Why am I considered too thin or fat even though my weight is normal?

Pay attention to the personalities and weight of the people who bother you. As a rule, they judge solely by themselves: subjectively

Overweight people always consider thin people to be skinny, and thin people always consider overweight people to be fat, moreover, both of them can have a weight within the healthy norm. Take into account social factors: try to exclude, suppress or ignore those judgments addressed to you that are based on ignorance, envy or personal hostility. Only an objective assessment of BMI, which clearly indicates the norm, excess or deficiency of mass, is worthy of trust; and trust your concerns about your figure only to supportive people in your weight category, or better yet, to an experienced nutritionist.

How to calculate body mass index (BMI)?

It is necessary to divide the weight indicated in kilograms by the square of the height indicated in meters. For example, with a height of 178 cm and a weight of 69 kg, the calculation will be as follows: BMI = 69 / (1.78 * 1.78) = 21.78

Traditional methods

Traditional medicine contains many recipes for any occasion. It is proposed to stimulate stunting with special formulations that contain protein-rich foods or herbs that have a unique effect on the human body.

Growth stimulating agent that strengthens the immune system:

• milk – 200 ml;
• eggs – 2 pcs.

  
  Traditional methods

Heat the milk, beat in the eggs, stir until smooth. Take 3 times daily for 2 months.

Herbal based:

• dried chopped string – 2 tbsp;
• water – 200 ml.

Pour boiling water over the grass and leave for 30 minutes. Take 100 ml 3 times daily. The course of treatment is continued for 2 months. Folk remedies stimulate a natural increase in linear growth, improve metabolic processes, which contribute to the normalization of the general condition of the body.

Other methods

One of the effective methods is considered a physiotherapeutic course , which not only stimulates the growth of the bone skeleton, but also has a general strengthening effect. Many experts are of the opinion that swimming helps increase height in girls.

Based on a course of physical therapy, a method of therapeutic swimming has been developed to stimulate girls to stretch in length. This method gives positive results provided that you regularly attend the course and perform a number of special exercises.

Lifehacks and tips for girls on how to visually look taller

Girls, following fashion trends, almost always strive to look slimmer and taller. These are the standards of an ideal modern person.

There are several tips on how to do this with maximum results, quickly and easily:

• wear high-heeled shoes. This will not only add the desired few cm of height, but will also visually elongate the entire figure, making the image slimmer and more graceful;
• choose a vertical print on clothes. Long stripes visually elongate the entire silhouette, placing emphasis on the slimness and sophistication of the figure;
• choose blouses and sweaters with a V-neck. This model looks advantageous on petite girls, adding visual length to the neck, waist and torso as a whole;
• always emphasize the waistline;
• choose high-waisted looks, this will visually make your legs longer and your height taller;

• Women who are overweight should always wear shapewear. It will make the image collected and slender;
• prefer dark solid colors for the bottom (skirts, trousers). The dark shade visually lengthens the length of the legs;
• shoes in natural tones will also visually increase the length of your legs;
• the pointed toe on the shoes continues the length of the legs, making them slender and endless;
• choose flared trousers. The widened bottom of the trousers hides the silhouette of the legs, making them long and graceful;
• wear flowing jumpsuits with an accentuated waist. This type of clothing always remains in fashion. Airy fabric and a vertical silhouette will emphasize height, adding “extra” cm.

Possible complications

The age stage for girls, which begins at 12 years old and ends at 17 years old, is characterized by rapid growth, so determining the lag becomes quite easy if you have additional information.

As a rule, at this stage of development, genetic disharmony, which is detected in infancy, is completely eliminated. The main cause of severe stunting is a lack of growth hormone. During the period of time when the bones of the skeleton are able to stretch, it is possible to successfully treat this phenomenon.

Possible complications

If you do not respond to the existing problem in time, related complications may arise that are a consequence of unresolved problems:

• Possible delayed sexual development, late onset of menstruation, irregularity and prolongation of the cycle;
• change in appearance (thinning of facial features, reduction in the number of hair follicles, thinning hair);
• change in voice due to deformation of the structure of the vocal cords;
• disturbance in the activity of the central nervous system;
• increased intracranial pressure, limitation of the capabilities of the optic nerves;
• the possibility of developing diabetes mellitus due to the close relationship between somatotropin and insulin;
• increase in body weight (occurs due to a disruption in the production of hormones responsible for reducing body fat and increasing muscle mass).

Major deviations entail associated problems. This is due not only to changes in physical characteristics. Often, problems with stunting in teenage girls become the cause of mental problems. Growth standards in Russia are the average indicators by which experts and parents of teenagers are guided.

In girls, stunting can lead to serious physical and psychological problems . Timely diagnosis of growth retardation allows for effective growth-stimulating therapy and correction of natural mechanisms until the growth zones are closed.

Average heights of women of different nationalities: tables by country

Physical parameters are directly dependent on a person’s habitat.

This is explained by the fact that since ancient times, in order to survive in certain conditions, it was necessary to comply with certain external characteristics:

• tall or short;
• body mass;
• Long hands;
• wide feet.

That is why now, by height, it is indirectly possible to determine where a person or his ancestors come from.

Russia, Slavic girls

The average height of a woman in Russia in 2022 is 168 cm. The values ​​are constantly averaged and may change every year.

The shortest woman in Russia is Tasha Mayakovskaya, whose height is 86.2 cm. This characteristic was recorded in 2016. The tallest female representative is athlete Ekaterina Lisina.

In 2022, her height was 205.74 cm. The woman dreams of getting into the Guinness Book of Records, thanks to her parameters (leg length and height).

However, to do this, you need to send a video in which specialists measure physical parameters several times. Katya admits that she is now happy with her height, but a few years ago it was the reason for her complexes and ridicule from the opposite sex. Average growth values ​​for Russia are shown in the table.

Asian

Human height is a parameter that changes every year. The trend is that it is increasing worldwide among both women and men. Asia is famous for short people, so the average values ​​in this direction are much lower.

Average values ​​for Asia are presented in the table

American women

The average height of a woman in Russia differed significantly from that of an American woman. For many years, the inhabitants of America were considered the tallest. However, the lack of a healthy diet (excessive consumption of fast food) has made its own adjustments to the external characteristics of this nation.

Average values ​​for America are presented in the table

Africans

African countries have average physical characteristics. They cannot be classified as either the shortest or the tallest inhabitants of the planet.

The values ​​are given in the table

European women

The average height of European women varies depending on the country of residence. The tallest among men is a resident of the Netherlands, among women - a representative of Latvia. Russia occupies an intermediate position among both sexes.

Average parameters for Europe are summarized in the table

Australian girls

Australia boasts tall men, but among women this physical parameter is inferior to other countries.
