Did you Know the Average Woman's Height?

@Heartlander i should have copied the article. it didn't specify elderly vs young but i have shrunk 1.5 inches as i used to be 5'3 1/2

@akindheart Interesting. I recall reading about how a person’s height and thickness affects social status, wages, perception of trustworthiness, romantic appeal, etc. Or just by observation. Like researchers reporting how much more or less, on average, $$ people are paid for every inch taller or shorter they are.

I remember hiring criteria for airlines identified maximum and minimum heights and weights. Like one of the major airlines used 5’10” as a minimum for pilots, another used 5’6”. Flight attendants had different requirements, and different requirements for men and women. I recall once reading an article on average butt width for flight attendants. Supposedly needed research by plane makers when designing the jump seats for airplanes.
