Frequently asked questions

What is a 180 cm male in female height?

Is male-to-female height conversion exact?

No. The tool adds or subtracts the 12.6 cm difference between the Korean male and female averages used here. It is a simple statistical reference, not a percentile-equivalent biological rule, and the gap differs by country.
