Indonesians have the third shortest average height in Southeast Asia. A study conducted between 1914 and 2014 by Imperial College London revealed that the average height of Indonesian citizens is 152.9 centimeters. Indonesians are only taller than the people of Laos and the Philippines, whose average heights are 152.8 centimeters and 151.2 centimeters, respectively.
The population with the highest average height in Southeast Asia is Singapore, at 162.3 centimeters. This is followed by Thailand at 159 centimeters and Malaysia at 157 centimeters. The study found a correlation between increasing national economic growth and increasing height. Children and adolescents who receive good nutrition and live in better environments tend to be taller.
