I used the nhanes data set from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted in 2009 to 2011 by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This helped create a model of height for adult men. What could be the average height of an adult male in America in 2024? Since the survey is voluntary, it could mean that taller men are more likely to answer this question. We modeled height using an intercept-only regression. The average height of adult men in America in 2024 is 176 cm, with standard deviation of 7.48 cm.
