The average height of an adult woman in the United States is 5 feet 4 inches (162.5 cm), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This measurement is based on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), which is a nationally representative sample of the U.S. population.
There are a number of factors that can affect a woman’s height, including genetics, nutrition, and overall health. In general, women who are taller than average tend to have taller parents, while women who are shorter than average tend to have shorter parents. Nutrition also plays a role in height, as women who are malnourished or who do not get enough calcium and other essential nutrients are more likely to be shorter than women who have a healthy diet. Overall health can also affect height, as women who have certain medical conditions, such as growth hormone deficiency, are more likely to be shorter than women who are healthy.
