Abstract—With the development of the modern world, height emerges as a critical physiological and gene expression indicator, that necessitates a more systematic and comprehensive exploration. However, since height, a physiological feature, is highly susceptible to the influence of the external environment and genes, the purpose of this paper is to provide readers with a broad understanding of the various factors influencing height. It summarizes previous publications and statistical data related to the influence of height from multiple sources and analyzes the literature on this and its related factors. It also finds that height is affected by a combination of genes, environmental diseases, nutrition, and a variety of hormones, and each factor has a significant impact on height. However, it is important to note that this paper is a review article. As such, there are no actual experiments or investigation cases. Consequently, there may be limitations, such as potential omission, reliance on a relatively small sample size, and insufficient information coverage.
Keywords—height, human, genetics, environment, diseases, hormone, complex factors
