WHAT DOES STATURE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

stature

Human height

Human height is the distance from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head in a human body, standing erect. It is measured using a stadiometer, usually in centimetres when using the metric system, and feet and inches when using the imperial system. Human height has varied from under 60 centimetres to over 260 centimetres. On average, males are taller than females. When populations share genetic background and environmental factors, average height is frequently characteristic within the group. Exceptional height variation within such a population is sometimes due to gigantism or dwarfism, which are medical conditions caused by specific genes or endocrine abnormalities. In regions of poverty or warfare, environmental factors like chronic malnutrition during childhood or adolescence may account for delayed growth and/or marked reductions in adult stature even without the presence of any of these medical conditions.

Definition of stature in the English dictionary

The first definition of stature in the dictionary is the height of something, esp a person or animal when standing. Other definition of stature is the degree of development of a person. Stature is also intellectual or moral greatness.
