Height: Males, Age 50-59

What these numbers mean

A value around 175.3 cm (5 ft 9.0 in) is typical (50th percentile) for men in this age group. The middle 50% of the reference population fall between about 170.1 cm (5 ft 7.0 in) and 180.6 cm (5 ft 11.1 in); values below or above that central range sit in the lower or upper half of the distribution.

These are measured US population percentiles for standing height from NHANES 2015-2018. Ages 2 to 19 are grouped by completed year of age at examination, with 114 to 217 children measured per age and sex.
