The Highest Person In The World Today And Who Has Lived Before

YOGYAKARTA - If you look at professional athletes in basketball or volleyball, you might see people who have an average height of almost two meters. However, it turns out that there are still people who are taller than that and even become the highest people in the world. Check out the full review in this article.

In general, having a tall body does provide benefits. In addition to being able to see in a longer reach, you can also reach higher objects. For example, fruits in high branches.

However, the highest people in the world often have medical problems due to hypophysis giganism, a condition where growth occurs excessively.

Hypofisic giantisme conditions give patients excessive growth hormones, and theoretically allow people to continue to grow day by day until they die.

Most likely, people who have these conditions will feel pain due to hypertension and other blood circulation problems, thus requiring the use of extract or aid to walk.

According to Guinness World Records records, the tallest person in the world who is still alive today is Sultan K\"osen. This man from Turkey has a height of 2.51 meters.

K\"osen, whose daily work as a farmer has held the world's highest human record since Guinness World Records measured it in 2009.

The man who was born in 1982 also holds the record for the largest hands and feet for a living human being.

His hands were 28.5 cm from the wrist to the middle finger and his legs were 36.5 cm and 35.5 cm each on his left and right feet.

Meanwhile, apart from Sultan K\"osen, there is also the highest woman in the world who is still alive, namely Rumeysa Gelgi. The woman from Turkey has a height of 2.15 meters.

He was named the world's highest teenager by Guinness World Records in 2014 when he was 17 years old.

Despite having a very high body, in fact Sultan K\"osen & Rumeysa Gelgi is not the highest person in the world ever. Because, according to the Guinness World Records record, previously there were people who were taller than the two Turks.
