Human height

From Preliminary Human Factors Guidelines for Traffic Management Centers (July 1999) FHWA, U.S. DoT

When standing normally (i.e., with some slump), eye height lowers ∼1.6″ (4 ㎝) for males and ∼1.2″ (3 ㎝) for females.

Extrapolating, eye height is ∼95% of stature, and body width is ∼30% of stature.
