VIP Class Notes (George)[W/R]

The average height of both Chinese men and women rose by about 10 cm in the past century.Researchers calculated the average heights of 18-year-olds between 1914 and 2014. In 2014, Chinese adults reached approximately 172 and 160 cm for men and women, respectively.The same as Joey, whose height reaches 150cm while he is 8 years old. As a mom,I believe that the improvement in childhood nutrition has been the most important factor in allowing children to increase so dramatically in stature.
