Height is influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and nutritional factors on a global scale. Genetic predispositions play a significant role in determining an individual's height, as certain populations may have inherent traits that contribute to taller or shorter statures. Additionally, environmental factors such as access to healthcare, sanitation, and overall socioeconomic conditions can impact growth patterns.
Nutrition is a crucial determinant of height, especially during the formative years of childhood and adolescence. Insufficient or imbalanced nutrition can stunt growth, leading to shorter stature. Conversely, adequate nutrition supports proper development and contributes to reaching one's genetic height potential.
On a global scale, variations in average height can be observed across different regions and populations. These differences are reflective of the complex interplay between genetics, environment, and nutrition. Understanding these global height factors is essential for addressing health disparities and implementing effective strategies to promote optimal growth and well-being worldwide.

Trends of adult height in India from 1998 to 2015
Several studies in the past have shown that the average height of adults across the globe is is on the rise, but against this trend, the average height of adults in India is declining at an alarming rate, as per a study titled ‘Trends of adult height in India from 1998 to 2015: Evidence from the National Family and Health Survey’.
The authors of this study have stated, “In the context of an overall increase in average heights worldwide, the decline in the average height of adults in India is alarming and demands an urgent enquiry. The argument for different standards of height for the Indian population as different genetic groups needs further scrutiny.”
The study further states that the decline in the average height of Indian adults is not just because of a genetic factor, but various non-genetic factors have also come into play, such as lifestyle, nutrition, social and economic determinants and so on.
