'''Human height''' is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a human body, standing erect. It is measured using a stadiometer, usually in centimeters when using the metric system, or feet and inches when using the imperial system.

== Factors Influencing Human Height ==
Human height is determined by a range of factors including genetics, nutrition, and health.

=== Genetics ===
[[Genetics]] play a crucial role in determining the height of an individual. The height of a person is usually close to the average height of their parents. The specific genes that contribute to height are still being identified.

=== Nutrition ===
[[Nutrition]] is another significant factor that influences height. A balanced diet rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals can promote growth and development, thereby influencing height.

=== Health ===
Overall [[health]] and well-being also play a role in determining height. Chronic illnesses, hormonal imbalances, or other health issues can affect growth and development.

== Height and Society ==
Height can have a significant impact on various aspects of life, including career, social status, and self-esteem.

=== Career ===
In some professions, height can be a factor in success. For example, taller people are often preferred in professions such as modeling and basketball.

=== Social Status ===
In many societies, taller height is often associated with higher social status. This perception can influence personal relationships and social interactions.

=== Self-Esteem ===
Height can also impact an individual's self-esteem. People who are shorter than average may experience feelings of insecurity or inferiority.
