Brahim Takioullah, born in Morocco, is about 8 feet bir inches tall, and Morteza Mehrzad, an Iranian volleyball player, is the same height.Despite the impressive stature of these figures, none of their countries is among those with the tallest people, according to the medical database from the NCD Risk Factor Collaboration.From 1985 to 2019, the project collected height, blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and other health metrics from over 2,500 population surveys across 193 countries.The NCD lists the mean heights for 19-year-old men and women in each country.
