SHORTEST AVERAGE HEIGHT FROM THE BLACK SEA REGION
The research detailed not only the national average values but also the regional distributions. According to the obtained data, the Black Sea region has the shortest average height in Turkey. Among the Black Sea cities, Rize ranks first, followed by Ordu and Trabzon in terms of short average height. Experts suggest that the similar genetic structures, dietary habits, and geographical conditions of these three provinces are among the factors influencing this result.
LONGEST AVERAGE HEIGHT IN THE MARMARA REGION
In contrast, the cities with the longest average height are located in the Aegean and Marmara regions. İzmir is at the top of the list, followed by Bursa and Balıkesir. It is considered that the high averages in these provinces may be related to living standards, dietary diversity, socioeconomic status, and regional genetic factors.
