The average height in Somalia

Yours truly was somewhat interested in this and decided to scour the Internet for it. Due to certain circumstances there are no actual measurements originating from the hooyoland. So I've decided to use data on Somali migrants in their various host nations.

First study I found was based on Somali migrants in Wisconsin, Barron County. Note this was a small scale study.

According to the data your average Somali male is 37, likely spent the past 3 years in the US (in the link) and stands at 174.3 cm or about 5'8 1/2

Next up a study on anthropometric measures and type 2 diabetes in Finland

This study put the average Somali migrant height at 174.5 cm. Your average Somali migrant was about 2.1 centimetres shorter than your average Russian (0.4 mm off 1 inch), 6.6 centimetres (about 2 inches) shorter than your average finn and slightly over 1 inch taller than your average Kurd.

Bonus data your average Somali male has a smaller waist circumference out of all groups listed in the study (Kurds, Finns and Russians) Futoweyn conspiracy is a confirmed psyops against faraxs worldwide.

Your average Somali male migrant living in Oslo is 175.5 cm or about 5'9 and is older than 30 whereas in SL the average height is 172.9 cm (5'7-5'8) which doesn't make sense since 30 year olds can't actually grow an inch taller. In fact the last time anyone in Somalia was 172 cm was more than 140 years ago according to

(your average Somali from 1880 was taller than your average swede and German)

It's been quite a few years since I took a statistics class and I'm not bothered to go through the data to conclude if this is an anomaly or not so I have absolutely zero idea if it should be part of the mean calculation.

Included the mean height is 174.3 cm

Not included the mean height is 174.8 cm

In comparison the average world height is 171 cm for males and 163 cm for females. Your average Somali is an inch or two taller than that and is less than an inch shorter than the expected healthy height of 176 cm for a healthy well fed population.

The expected average height of a healthy population should be 163 cm for women and 176.5 cm for men – as defined by the WHO growth reference standards. Interestingly, the global average height is 159.5 cm for women, and 171 cm for men – it's lower than we'd expect.

Which is mental once you consider the fact Somalia has one of the worlds worst levels of nutrition.

I can't find anything on the height of diaspora born Somalis but I'm gonna go with a guesstimate and some anecdotal evidence and say probably somewhere between 6'0-5'11. So I decided to find out the results on this forum because let's be honest that's the closest we'll get.

Due to the shitty methodology of every other survey I'll be using this as a prime example of what every height thread on this site resembles


The vast majority of users here report being anywhere between 6'1 to 5'10 (a slightly higher amount of 6 footers but I'm gonna say some niggas here inflating their height by a bit).

Well that's all I could find
 
id say average from my anecdotal experience is 5'11 as average (where i live), the tallest person ive met in my life is somali though i know this somali dude whos 6'11 idk what hes been eating his whole life

also every male on somalispot apparently is over 6'0 but we all know they got to be squeezing some inches :ftw9nwa: just keep it a buck

My uncle is the tallest person I know and he's 6'9
 
somalis are genetically tall but because of malnutrition and bad diet lowers the average. western somalis reach the potential height that's why they're taller

I'm 6'3 but most of my family is tall or decently tall. I think it honestly depends on your people, if your family/lineage has always been short then you're gonna be short
 
Diaspora born male average height in my opinion is between

180-186 cm ( 5,11-6,1). Majority, about 60% are in this range. 20% are taller and 20% are shorter.

When us diaspora born people get kids, we could see them be taller than us. I think the boys will be more taller on average, about 5 cm more
