About
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 stature, as certain populations possess inherent traits that contribute to specific growth outcomes. Furthermore, environmental conditions—including access to healthcare, sanitation, and general socioeconomic status—heavily influence growth patterns across different regions. Because nutrition is a fundamental determinant of height during the formative years of childhood and adolescence, tracking these variations is vital for identifying health disparities and promoting better well-being worldwide.
Columns
- code: A standardised identification code representing specific countries or territories, such as Afghanistan (AFG).
- Code_1: A secondary numerical or categorical code used to classify regional population data.
- Code_2: An additional data field used for the further subdivision of geographic growth statistics.
- Code_3: A supplemental identifier provided for the cross-referencing of global height metrics.
Distribution
The data is delivered in a CSV format within a file named
code 1.csv, which has a size of approximately 602.12 kB. The primary identifier column contains 20,300 valid records, while the secondary code columns include up to 59,600 valid entries. The collection is scheduled for annual updates to ensure the inclusion of the latest global health and growth trends.Usage
This resource is ideal for conducting longitudinal studies on human development and for identifying specific regions where growth patterns may be impacted by environmental or nutritional deficiencies. It is well-suited for building visualisations that map global stature trends or for developing models that correlate height with socioeconomic indicators. Analysts can utilise the records to inform public health strategies aimed at addressing developmental inequalities.
Coverage
The geographic scope is global, encompassing a wide array of regions and populations to reflect the complex interplay between genetics and environment. Temporally, the focus is on the critical growth phases of childhood and adolescence, when the impact of nutrition is most significant. The demographic scope includes both male and female height factors across 201 unique locations.

Who Can Use It
Public health researchers can leverage these records to study the relationship between nutrition and stature in developing regions. Policy makers may utilise the findings to design more effective healthcare and sanitation interventions. Additionally, data scientists specialising in demographics can use the structured codes to practice regional performance analysis and trend forecasting.
