of the findings of the first table, for example with bosnia and herzegovina which is ranked sixth on the following table, an actual survey from 2014 already found males from 19–32 to average 183.9 cm as opposed to the 182.5 cm reported below; similarly montenegro's male estimate of 183.3 cm may not compensate for the sometimes unfinished height growth of 17- and 18-year-olds who were part of a sample on the first table that already measured 182.9 cm on average. akin to the above point, the table and diagrams of this subsection are reliant on one singular publication which in turn cites surveys that cannot be scrutinised by the public since the public has no access to them (i.e. age range per study, its sample size, other background factors, etc.). of particular interest is a round figure and in-source references for north korea. the requisition of such claimed details is questionable in light of global difficulties in obtaining statistics from north korea. the figure for north korea produced in the first table confirms that the measurements actually occurred in south korea and the sample in question had been self-admitted defectors from north korea. height can vary over the course of a day, due to factors such as a decrease from exercise done directly before measurement (i.e. inversely correlated), or an increase since lying down for a significant period of time (i.e. positively correlated). for example, one study revealed a mean decrease of 1.54 centimetres (0.6 in) in the heights of 100 children from getting out of bed in the morning to between 4 and 5 p.m. that same day. such factors may not have been controlled in the following study. estimated figures countries and territories are sorted according to the average of the male and female mean height:
