Is there a single database on body mass and/or height in a diversity of adult human populations?

17 April 2024 1 10K Report

I'm keen to view data on the body masses of people (and/or heights), disaggregated by sex, representing a good diversity of human populations, based on large sample sizes and including a measure of spread/error around the means.

Is anyone aware of such a resource? Thank you.

Yoav S Bergman

Hi Lewis,

There are several databases available online for researchers, which include weight and height. I would try to look at the SHARE datasets (https://share-eric.eu/), as SHARE is a longitudinal study which has been collected throughout the past decades from older adults in many European countries, and has such information.

Good luck!
