It's here:

What's the average height for men?

How do you measure up against the average height for men in your country? And what can your height and waistline tell you about your health?

@berendvdkolk This looks like a (deliberate?) copy of the infamous Giant Latvian Women graphic from a couple of years ago. 😀 https://www.boredpanda.com/average-women-height-data-chart-latvian-indian-women/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic
Someone Posts A Pictograph Of "Average Female Height" And People's Commentary Is Hilarious

With Latvian female giants and tiny Indian women, this questionable piece of data on average female height is having the roast of a lifetime.

@berendvdkolk

I think a logarithmic scale might have helped here.

Must point out as well, it doesn't specify 'Adult' so the images could very well be correct and the axis is wrong.
