According to World Population Review (WPR), an independent organization, Indonesia has people with the shortest height among the races across the world.
The sampling and methodology were done by World Population Review (WPR) and have been posted on its official website.
WPR ranked Indonesians in first place with the shortest average height in the world for adults around 158 centimetres.
Bolivia ranks second with an average height of 159 centimetres, Philippines is third with 161 centimetres while Vietnam ranks fourth with 162 centimetres.
Cambodia is fifth with an average height of 162.5 centimetres while Nepal is sixth with 163 centimetres.
In a post, WPR said: “With migration and the spread of religion, the genetics of Indonesian society is a mixture of different human groups. The genetic data from the research shows that the Indonesian archipelago was once the centre of civilization.
In this way, it is this genetic plus linguistic investigation that reveals the structure of the Indonesian population, including its influence on body posture, especially height.”
