The tallest human being on record, according to the Guinness Book of World Records, was Robert P. Wadlow. At the time of his death, Wadlow stood 272 cm (8 ft 11 in) and 199.1 kg (439 lb). At his heaviest, a few months before his death, Wadlow weighed just over 222.3 kg (490 lb), about the same weight as the canon average troll. He wasn’t particularly muscular, and the proportions of his body were normal. He was, in fact, a bit slender; proportionately, he would have weighed around 50 kg (110 lb) pounds had he stood 170 cm (5 ft 7 in). Clearly a troll, with his massive musculature and heavier skeleton, should weigh more than a human of the same approximate height.
