"Stature Statistics: Profiling the Height of College Students at La Consolacion University Philippines"
Abstract
This research, titled "Stature Statistics: Profiling the Height of College Students at La Consolacion
University Philippines," investigates the heights of college students in this institution. Height data
provides insights into students' well-being, nutrition, and socioeconomic factors influencing their
growth. The study aims to describe height distributions among students, explore variations between
courses and faculties, and uncover gender-specific trends. The findings may inform policies and
programs for students' development and contribute to anthropology, public health, and education
research. The study reveals that the most common height range is 165-168 cm and that gender
differences in height are consistent with established patterns. It also provides context by comparing the
students' heights to national averages. Further research could explore correlations with age and gender.
Introduction
Height, a fundamental anthropometric dimension, reflects the intricate interplay of genetics,

environment, nutrition, and health, offering valuable insights into the overall well-being of a population.
The study of stature statistics has long been a subject of fascination and research worldwide, shedding
light on the complex dynamics of human growth and development. As we delve into the diverse tapestry
of college life at La Consolacion University Philippines, we embark on a journey to explore a vital facet of
the student community: their heights.
This research, offers a comprehensive examination of the heights of college students within this
academic institution. This inquiry into height data is a window into students' well-being, nutritional
status, and the socioeconomic factors shaping their growth. Height, as a fundamental anthropometric
dimension, provides valuable insights into the intricate interplay of genetics, environment, and health,
making it an essential element of human development research. As we embark on this journey into the
diverse tapestry of college life at La Consolacion University Philippines, we delve into an important facet
of the student community: their heights.
The purpose of this research is to meticulously investigate the heights of college students within the
university, with a particular emphasis on understanding height distributions among students, variations
across courses and faculties, and gender-specific trends. This study's implications are far-reaching,
potentially informing policies, programs, and initiatives for students' holistic development while also
contributing to the broader fields of anthropology, public health, and education research.
In the subsequent sections, we present the key findings of this study, shedding light on common height
ranges, extremes, gender-based differences, and comparisons with national averages. These findings
offer a holistic perspective on the heights of college students at La Consolacion University Philippines,
paving the way for potential future research examining correlations with age and gender. Through our
commitment to scientific rigor and the advancement of our academic community, we aim to unveil the
secrets hidden in the heights of our students, illuminating their path to well-being and growth.

Findings:
This research explores the height distribution of college students at La Consolacion University, with a
particular focus on common height ranges, extremes, gender-based differences, and a comparison with
the average height of Filipinos.
1. Most Common Height Range: The most prevalent height range among college students at La
Consolacion University is between 165 - 168 cm. A total of 23 students (out of the sample) fall within
this range, making it the most common height category.
2. Height Distribution: The data reveals a relatively normal distribution of heights, with a clear peak
around the 165-168 cm range. This suggests that the heights of college students at the university are
evenly distributed across the given height ranges.
3. Tall and Short Extremes: While a majority of students fall within the average height range, it is
important to note that there are significant numbers of students who deviate from this norm. Notably,
there are students who are significantly taller (e.g., in the 177-180 cm range) and shorter (e.g., in the
149-152 cm range) than the average height.
4. Gender-Based Differences: When analyzing the data based on gender, interesting patterns emerge:
 The average height of college boys is 169 cm, which is 10 cm taller than the average height of
college girls (159 cm), in accordance with established research on average height differences
between genders.
 The shortest college student girl has a height of 145 cm, which is noticeably shorter than the
shortest college boy, who stands at 152 cm.
 On the other end of the spectrum, the tallest college boy reaches an impressive height of 183
cm, which is the highest height observed among the students. The tallest college girl attains a
height of 173 cm, making her the tallest among the female students in the sample.
5. Height Range and Extremes:
 The observed height range in this study spans from 145 cm as the lowest recorded height, found
among a college girl, to 183 cm as the highest, observed in a college boy. This showcases the
considerable variation in heights among college students.
 The most common height range is 165 - 168 cm, indicating the central tendency in height among
the student population.
6. Comparison with the Average Height of Filipinos: It is worth noting that recent data indicate that the
average height of adult males in the Philippines is approximately 5 feet 5 inches (165.23 centimeters),
positioning the Philippines slightly lower than the global average height of 5 feet 7 inches (173.74 cm)
for men. For adult females, the average height is approximately 5 feet 1 inch (154.14 cm), also placing
the Philippines below the global average height of 5 feet 2.5 inches (160.02 cm) for women. These
national averages provide context for the heights observed among the college students at La
Consolacion University.
7. Variance in Average Height: The data indicates a variance in average height among the student
population. While the most common height range falls between 165 - 168 cm, this range serves as the
central tendency, suggesting that a significant portion of students have heights both above and below
this range.
8. Correlation with Age and Gender: Further analysis may reveal correlations between age and gender
in terms of height. For example, it may be observed whether older students tend to be taller, or if the
gender-based height differences remain consistent across different age groups.
