Height measurement using a stadiometer. Human height or stature 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, [1] in centimetres when using the metric system or SI system, [2] [3] or feet and inches when using United States customary units or the imperial system.

It was estimated at 18 ft (5.5 m) but the living man was believed to be "at least" 20 ft (6.1 m) tall. However, even in 1845 it was reported that the discovery was not confirmed. [ 193 ] This skeleton as well as an 8 ft 9 in (2.67 m) tall specimen found in the Rocky Mountains in 1838, is very likely the remains of an extinct animal.
Many of the world's best forwards and midfielders are taller than average, while still possessing a high all round level of technical ability, such as Zlatan Ibrahimović 1.95 m (6 ft 5 in), Nemanja Matić 1.94 m (6 ft 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), Luca Toni, Patrick Vieira 1.93 m (6 ft 4 in), Sócrates 1.92 m (6 ft 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in), Paul Pogba 1.91 m (6 ft ...
This list of tallest statues includes completed statues that are at least 50 m (160 ft) tall. The height values in this list are measured to the highest part of the human (or animal) figure, but exclude the height of any pedestal (plinth), or other base platform as well as any mast, spire, or other structure that extends higher than the tallest figure in the monument.
1.6 × 10 −5 quectometers (1.6 × 10 −35 meters) – the Planck length (Measures of distance shorter than this do not make physical sense, according to current theories of physics.) 1 qm – 1 quectometer, the smallest named subdivision of the meter in the SI base unit of length, one nonillionth of a meter.

Wadlow's height was 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) [2] [3] [4] while his weight reached 439 lb (199 kg) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland , which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone (HGH).
By 2014, he reached 7 ft 8.5 in (235 cm) tall and weighed 110 kg (244 pounds). [6] Doctors attributed his growth to a pituitary gland disease. [7] In 2018, he was admitted to the hospital for kidney failure. At the time he was determined to be about 8 ft 2.5 in (250 cm), although he had a dislocated knee [8] and was still growing. His coffin ...
