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).
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.

An ideal figure, used when aiming for an impression of nobility or grace, is drawn at 8 heads tall. A heroic figure, used in the depiction of gods and superheroes, is eight-and-a-half heads tall ...
The result depends on the cause, but is typically an increase in final height of about 5 to 10 centimetres (2.0 to 3.9 in) taller than predicted. [4] Thus, treatment takes a child who is expected to be much shorter than a typical adult and produces an adult who is still obviously shorter than average.
