The ideal human height is 168cm.
From a scientific point of view, what is the ideal height? Recently, there was a post on the Internet saying that from the perspective of adapting to modern production, scientists found that the ideal height of human beings is 168 cm, and the best range of change is between 167 ~ 170cm.
It is said that scientific research shows that the basic metabolism of the body is directly proportional to the body surface area, and the body surface area is directly proportional to the height. For every 5% increase in height, the body surface area increases by 65,438+00%, so the body needs to consume 20% more energy. In order to survive, tall people need to eat more food that can provide energy and absorb more water and oxygen, which increases the burden on various organs of the body and is likely to affect their life span.
A short human body has a relatively small surface area, less daily energy consumption, less nutrients and stronger body tolerance. It's like a building. The fewer stories, the lighter the foundation burden and the less building materials are needed.
The study also said: tall people are far away from each other, which is not conducive to regulation, and it is easy to lose balance among various system organs. Tall people have poor coordination of movements and more chances of accidental injuries. The height requirement for space pilots in China is about 1.70 meters, because tall people are not flexible enough to operate in a limited space.
It can be seen that it is unscientific and unwise to measure people's health simply by height. It seems unnecessary for a girl to ask a man's height when looking for a partner. Now westerners realize that the harm is too high and should be controlled like obesity. European and American scholars suggest that human height should be reduced by 10 ~ 15cm according to the current level, so as to reduce the impact of human beings on the earth's space and ecological environment.
What is the best height for a man?
Of course, there is no absolute standard for this, and the best height that everyone expects is different. However, the views seen on the internet are still very similar. Male height is generally between 174cm- 185cm, which is the most popular choice for both men and women. The ideal height of 168cm mentioned above is unacceptable to many people, but it seems that shorter people have found the advantage of being short.
