    Does justin bieber vary in height so much that they had to specify using his ‘average height’?

      People vary in height throughout the day due to spine compression. You are at the tallest in the morning before your spine has had time to compress. Adults get shorter as they age largely due to the same phenomenon taking place over many years.

      But I think that says “average human” and not “average height”.
