हे आकडे 2005–06 मधील आहेत. या साइटला पडताळता आलेल्या स्रोतांपैकी कुठेही प्रकाशित झालेल्या, राज्यपातळीवरील सर्वात अलीकडच्या सरासरी उंची याच आहेत, आणि त्या सध्याच्या म्हणून न दाखवता त्यांच्या वर्षासह दिल्या आहेत.

हे आकडे कसे वाचावेत
हे संपूर्ण राज्यासाठीचे सर्वेक्षण-निर्देशक आहेत, आणि राज्य म्हणजे व्यक्ती नव्हे. कोणत्याही भारतीय राज्यात प्रौढांची उंची घरातील आर्थिक स्थिती, शहरी की ग्रामीण वस्ती आणि बालपणीचा आहार यांनुसार दोन राज्यांमधील फरकापेक्षा कितीतरी जास्त बदलते. राज्यपातळीवरचा आकडा सार्वजनिक आरोग्यासाठी उपयुक्त असतो आणि एखाद्या व्यक्तीबद्दल अंदाज बांधण्यासाठी जवळजवळ निरुपयोगी असतो.
The indicator most often mistaken for an average is the share of women measuring under 145 cm. It is a threshold count, not a mean — and this site does not convert one into the other, because the conversion is not possible without the underlying distribution.

प्रश्न
What is the average height in Kerala?
166.6 cm (5'6") for men and 152.9 cm (5'0") for women, for adults aged 20–49 measured in 2005–06. That is the most recent state-level mean height published for Kerala anywhere this site could verify. No newer figure exists, and this site will not estimate one.
What does "percentage of women below 145 cm" measure?
It is a nutritional and obstetric-risk indicator used by the National Family Health Survey, not a description of typical height. Short adult stature in women is associated with childhood undernutrition and with higher risks in childbirth, which is why the survey tracks the share below a fixed threshold rather than a mean. It cannot be converted into an average height, and this site does not try.
Which survey rounds are these figures from?
