The average height is 5'9" for American men. This averages all of the other averages of men in the US. For example, Hispanics, whites, and blacks in the US have had their heights averaged, to give the generic average of 5'9". The nation with the tallest men in the world is the Netherlands, with an average height of 5'11.6".

AVERAGE HEIGHT IS 5"9.5. ACCORDING TO A CALIFORNIA HEALTH CARE STUDY DONE 10/24/04 .THE TALLEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ON AVERAGE ARE FROM NORTHERN EUROPE SUCH AS NETHERLANDS, NORWAY, SWEDEN ETC... THERE ARE MORE 7 FOOT TALL PEOPLE THAN ANY WHERE ELSE. WHY ARE THEY NOT IN THE NBA? SAME REASON THE UNITED STATES STINKS AT SOCCER ITS NOT THEY'RE FAVORITE SPORT.

I heard on a Seatle radio station this week that it was 5'9" . I'm from Canada and whenever I go to the States, people do seem taller. They have good food buffets, lol And one good thing is the young people are smoking less. People who smoke are usually a bit shorter.
