Introduction of more beef and milk into Chinese diets?
Thanks for making it in centimeters!
I wonder how this chart correlates with more protein in diets. I suspect rather well.
So in the next decade Chinese 19 year olds are going to be as tall or even taller than American 19 year olds?
So relatively I am getting shorter and shorter with each year.
Soon I will not even be an average Dutch-guy height. How is this fair 😀
Netherlands even the girls are tall.
UK in 511 Netherlands friends all 62 And above even the girls !
This is probably being short kings getting no love and not reproducing as much.
One of the primary components affecting adult height is early childhood nutrition.
If a young child gets enough and the right sort of food early on they will grow up to be taller.
It is in part one of those epigenetic things. Human bodies have a Plan B in case they are born in a time and place where resources are rare. Downsize the body a bit and economize the brain and the resulting adult will require fewer resources and have a better chance of passing on their genes.
Of course those are population wide averages and individuals may go against the grain. Underlying genetics also have their say.
If you look in rich first world countries at immigrant families from bad places you can often see how grandparents are dwarfed by their children and grandchildren.
Lots of people are pointing out that nutrition has led to the increase in Chinese heights over the years. Wondering how this data would look if we only looked at the upper/middle class across countries, i would assume they would sufficient calories and if they would be taller on average as a result.
Can someone explain to an idiot why china has increased so much?
Finally you used the correct unit of measurement Edit:typo
This is stupid way of using statistics
Lol the last thing you said to me when I said putting the chart in inches was an odd call was ‚I cannot emphasize enough how little I care.“
And the next thing you know, you’ve deleted it and reposted in centimeters! It seems you did care after all!
It much better this way. I also would have accepted feet and inches. Or hands high, like for measuring horsies.
You should have added it for [South Korea](https://www.vox.com/videos/2023/2/23/23611947/world-south-koreans-people-getting-taller)
I have like %40 percent Dutch dna and 3 percent south East Asian dna and I’m about 5’6. Think I got shafted here.
One fun thing is that average height is very highly correlated with milk consumption
This would be great to analyze with also migration patterns
And here I am, a 172cm Dutch male.
this is what happens when u ban eggs in mid day lunch
Damn, are the Chinese now the tallest young people in East Asia?
I have the faintest suspicion that is this data was simply gathered from the source country data centers rather than studied in person, China is lying. You never see that smooth of an improvement in ANYTHING. And even if you try to make the nutrition argument, generational Chinese-Americans aren’t very tall compared to Euro-Americans.
Now do Serbia. Some tall mf’s over there
What the hell are they feeding the kids in Netherlands
People here are automatically saying that being taller in adulthood is happening due to more nutritious food in childhood eg more beef and milk etc. But being taller is not necessarily healthier. Taller people can have higher rates of certain diseases. It might be that the increase in height ends up being positively correlated with an earlier mortality rate. All this just to say, we shouldn’t assume that taller = better, and that this data represents a positive trend for human health.
