Telangana — उंची आणि शरीराची आकडेवारी

As published, with the year attached. Anything the surveys do not publish for Telangana is simply absent from this page.

What has been published for Telangana

NFHS-5 indicators · 2019–21

No mean adult height has ever been published for Telangana, so this page does not give one.

On the current NFHS-5 round (2019–21), 12.6% of women aged 15–49 in Telangana measure below 145 cm.

Mean adult height

Not published for Telangana. The current National Family Health Survey does not report a mean adult height for any state, and the 2005–06 analysis that is the only published source of state mean heights does not cover Telangana.

Rather than interpolate from a neighbouring state or from an earlier administrative unit, this page leaves the figure out. The indicators that are published for Telangana are below.

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.

Nothing here describes you or your child. If a growth or weight question is on your mind, the useful next step is a clinician with a measuring tape and your history — not a state average.

प्रश्न

What is the average height in Telangana?

It has not been published. Telangana has current NFHS-5 nutritional-status indicators, which are on this page, but no mean adult height has been published for it — Telangana was part of undivided Andhra Pradesh when the last state-level heights were measured in 2005–06, and back-filling it from that figure would be inventing a measurement. An estimate would be a guess wearing a decimal point.

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?

The nutritional-status indicators are from NFHS-5 (2019-21) India Report Vol. 1, Table 10.20.1 (women) and Table 10.20.2 (men), age 15-49, by state/union territory Nothing on this page has been carried over between rounds or adjusted.

Figures for Telangana as published in the sources cited above, each with its own survey round and year. General information only — not medical advice. Growth varies enormously between healthy individuals; a single measurement means little. Discuss any concern about a child's growth with a paediatrician.
