<Li> The height of persons can vary over the course of a day, due to factors such as a height decrease from exercise done directly before measurement (i.e. inversely correlated), or a height 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 (0.61 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 some of the studies . </Li> <P> Note: Letters in grey indicate non-measured height . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Country / Region </Th> <Th> Average male height </Th> <Th> Average female height </Th> <Th> Stature ratio (male to female) </Th> <Th> Sample population / age range </Th> <Th> Share of pop . over 18 covered </Th> <Th> Methodology </Th> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Source </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Albania </Td> <Td> 174.0 cm (5 ft 8 ⁄ in) </Td> <Td> 161.8 cm (5 ft 3 ⁄ in) </Td> <Td> 1.08 </Td> <Td> 20--29 (N = m: 649 f: 1,806) </Td> <Td> 23.5% </Td> <Td> Measured </Td> <Td> 2008--2009 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Argentina </Td> <Td> N / A </Td> <Td> 159.6 cm (5 ft 3 in) </Td> <Td> N / A </Td> <Td> 19--49 </Td> <Td> 60.4% </Td> <Td> Measured </Td> <Td> 2004--2005 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Argentina </Td> <Td> 174.46 cm (5 ft 8 ⁄ in) </Td> <Td> 161.01 cm (5 ft 3 ⁄ in) </Td> <Td> 1.08 </Td> <Td> Healthy, 18 (N = m: 90 f: 97, SD = m: 7.43 cm (3 in) f: 6.99 cm (3 in)) </Td> <Td> 2.9% </Td> <Td> Measured </Td> <Td> 1998--2001 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Armenia </Td> <Td> N / A </Td> <Td> 158.1 cm (5 ft 2 in) </Td> <Td> N / A </Td> <Td> 25--49 (N = f: 4,218, SD = f: 5.7 cm (2 in)) </Td> <Td> 48.6% </Td> <Td> Self -
