Norwegians used to rank much higher in the global height rankings. A study published in The Lancet in 2020 showed that 19-year-old Norwegian boys had gone from being the 8th tallest in the world in 1985 to the 17th tallest in 2019.

If you look at Sweden, the average height is 172.71cm (5 feet 7.99 inches) tall, with Swedish men being 179.73cm (5 feet 10.76 inches) tall on average, while Swedish women are 165.6cm (5 feet 5.23 inches) tall. This makes Sweden the 16th tallest country in the world, just above Norway.
Next is Finland, where the average height is 172.74cm (5 feet 8 inches) tall. When broken down by gender, a male Finn is an average of 179.59cm (5 feet 10.70 inches) tall, while the average height for women in Finland is 165.89cm (5 feet 5.31 inches) tall. The Finns are the 15th tallest country in the world, just pipping Norway and Sweden at the post.
But towering over the rest of the region are the Danes, with the tallest average height by country in Scandinavia. In Denmark, the average height is 174.29cm (5 feet 8.61 inches) tall, with the average male height in Denmark being 181.38cm (5 feet 11.40 inches) tall and, for women, 167.21cm (5 feet 5.83 inches) tall. This makes the Danes the fourth tallest country in the world.
It is clear that the average height of Norwegians is not a fluke. There are many factors that contribute to how tall the Norwegian population is. From genes to diet, lifestyle, and healthcare, it is no wonder that Norwegians are some of the tallest people in the world.
For clarification, the imperial system measures height by way of feet and inches, whereas the metric system uses meters and centimeters. These measurement units are not hard to switch between, but countries tend to stick to one over the other to maintain consistency. The ten tallest countries, with the first one being the country with the tallest average human height in the world, include:
Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel, Oslo, formerly Radisson SAS Plaza Hotel, Oslo,[1] known locally as Oslo Plaza,[1] is situated in Oslo city centre. At 117 metres (384 ft) tall, it is Norway's second tallest building.[2]
The Oslo Plaza hotel is known for the mysterious death of an unidentified woman in 1995. On June 3, 1995, the body of a woman was found inside room 2805. She checked into the hotel with the false name of "Jennifer Fairgate", but she misspelled the last name as "Fergate" twice on hotel paperwork. On these forms, it appeared that a man by the name of Lois Fairgate checked in with her. Unfortunately, it's unclear of his involvement, identity, or location at the time of her death or during her stay.[7] She provided a fake address for a small village in Belgium (the village of Verlaine).[8] Her death was ruled a suicide with a Browning 9mm pistol found in her hand. However, the lack of gunshot residue and blood on her hand raised questions about the cause of death. No identification was found in the hotel room and the pistol's serial number was scratched off. Many theories suggest that Fairgate was a covert operative and she was involved with some sort of intelligence agency. Removing tags from clothing, removing serial numbers from weapons, and a false identity are all common practices of intelligence agents.[9]
An autopsy determined that the woman was around 30 years old (she lied about her age, claiming that she was 21), stood 5 ft 3 in (1.60 m), weighed 147 lb (67 kg), and had blue eyes with short, black hair. She had extensive dental work done that was done in gold and porcelain indicating a wealthy background. Her belongings contained expensive clothes with all but one of the brand tags removed. She also only packed clothing for her upper body, and no pants or skirts were found among her belongings. [10]
She was last seen alive the previous day when she ordered room service at 8:06 PM. Kristin Andersen delivered the food to the woman and noticed the room she was staying was "almost sterile". She gave her a tip of 50-kroner (US$5.51) before Andersen left. This meal is significant because the autopsy found undigested food in her stomach, suggesting she died the day she ordered the meal, not the day after like investigators originally thought.[11]
Aasen was born on March 5, 1890, in Minneapolis, Minnesota.[1] His mother, Kristi (Danielsen) from Rollag in Numedal,[2] was an extremely tall Norwegian woman of around 2.20 m (almost 7 ft 3 inches) in height (latest information from September 2008, sets her height to 188 cm, almost 6 ft 2 inches).[citation needed] It is not certain who his father was, but according to Aasen's sister Evelyn (who died in 1988), his father was Alfred Aasen. When Aasen was 10 years old, he and his mother moved from Ridgeway, Iowa (where his uncle Sam/Sevre lived with his wife Cornelia) to Sheyenne, North Dakota with his two younger siblings. Aasen was a Freemason. He rose to the degree of Master Mason at Highland Park Lodge No. 382, Los Angeles on July 14, 1924.[3]
When in Sheyenne, Aasen's mother operated a restaurant. He attended school and helped out in the family business. In 1902, Aasen's mother died. He was taken into many homes and families. When a family he was staying with started to operate a hotel in Leeds, North Dakota, he moved with them there. Aasen's growth started slowly. When he was confirmed in the Lutheran faith in Grandfield Lutheran Church near Sheyenne, North Dakota, he was the shortest in his class. According to some sources, Aasen was around 2.74 m or 8 feet, 11 inches (which, if true, would make him even taller than Robert Wadlow, the tallest verified person in history). The Top 10 of Everything 2010 edition states his height at 8 feet, 9.7 inches (2.68 m).

One individual with an exotic haplotype (A3705) was a woman found in 1927 in Nærøy municipality, Nord-Trøndelag, with an mtDNA lineage likely to belong to Hg A*. She was buried with many well-preserved objects, typical of a Norse burial. Hg A* is widespread in Asia [62] and constitutes one of four major founding mtDNA lineages of the Americas, but is rare in Europe, and observed in less than 0.2% of modern Scandinavians [7]. The haplogroup is more common in the Black Sea region, and was reported in the Turkish population at a frequency nearing 7% [63]. It is not inconceivable that this haplogroup may reflect Viking connections to Russia and Byzantium [5,64]. A recent study has shown that Mesolithic and Early Metal Age individuals from northeast Europe carried central/east Siberian mtDNA lineages (C, D and Z), suggesting extensive gene-flow from Siberia during prehistory [65]. However, none of the reported lineages was Hg A*, suggesting the haplogroup arrived in Scandinavia at a later date.
The tallest waterfalls in Norway drop over 800 metres. Vinnufallet is the tallest according to the World Waterfall Database. It is situated in Sunndalen in Northwest Norway, an area with many beautiful waterfalls, including Åmotan and Mardalsfossen.
Another question is why tall men in Holland are at a reproductive advantage but those in the United States are not. Stulp says he can only speculate. One reason may be that humans often choose a partner who's not much shorter or taller than they are themselves. Because shorter women in the United States have more children, tall men may do worse than those of average height because they're less likely to partner with a short woman.
Norwegian women are considered to be amongst the most beautiful ones on this planet. These women share equal rights in their country which reflects in their strong personality.

Born in Lorenskog Norway on 25th May 1984, Marion Raven is an absolutely gorgeous woman and looks much younger than her age. She is an actress, a music presenter, songwriter, and a singer. She has played a very important part in the entertainment industry. Marion is in love with her singing career, enjoys it thoroughly, and spends a lot of time writing songs. She creates both rock and pop music. Raven has had a very successful career and it is because of her smile, her charming personality, and great looks.
In recent years, climbing the 14 tallest mountains on the planet in a single year has become more accessible due to the use of helicopter transportation between base camps, artificial oxygen systems, and a growing number of Nepali expedition companies that specialize in stringing together ascents on a back-to-back schedule. The risk and the challenge are still extreme, but the biggest hurdle for Harila and others comes months before they set foot on a mountain.
The powerful 48-year-old woman would then carry the body to the basement, where she most often dissected it, bundled the remains, and then buried them in the hog pen. She dumped the corpse into a hog-scalding vat at other times and then covered the remains with quicklime. And, worse, according to Lamphere, if she was overly tired, she would chop up the remains and feed them to the hogs.
To get these results, I added up the individual country data and calculated a weighted average for each region (i.e. an average adjusted for the population of each country within the region), enabling us to see that the Nordic and Baltic men are the tallest in the world by region. 2ff7e9595c
