    Adult male height
    Scale
    100 = tallest mean male height, 0 = shortest — descriptive, not better or worse
    Raw value
    176.045 cm
    Native score
    71.46 — this metric's own 0–100 scale; not comparable to other metrics.
    Percentile rank
    78th percentile — ranks 45th of 200. Comparable across metrics.
    Normalization
    Min–max (rescaled against the dataset)
    score = 100 · (176.05 − 159.79) / (182.54 − 159.79) = 71.46

    Min and max are this dataset's lowest (159.79) and highest (182.54) values, so the score is relative to the current country set.

    The score is the country's position in the distribution. Direction is inverted (higher raw value = worse), so the position is subtracted from 100.
