WHat is the source of your list ?No idea Wilhelm, they didn't say what year.
Good article Lynx, it makes sense.
I can't believe it's so hard to find recent statistics with cross population and age height or weight measurements. I think one would need to get to government stats for every country (in native language) sample them and pile up in one database.
I wounder if there is still grove increase since 80s till now, or it has stopped in Europe? If it stopped then it would mean that we have enough food in all countries to accommodate the full potential grove. If we still growing it could mean that we consume too much grove hormone in foods.
I remember a friend from high school in Poland. His parents were about 155cm mother and 165 father, short people by any standards. At age of 19 my friend was 190cm still growing and not much facial hair. I know this wasn't a disease, his alive now and healthy,..and stopped growing soon after. Well, his parents owned a chicken farm. Real mass production with grove hormone use. It was a long recession time in Poland and food was scares. Because they had this farm, easy food for them to get, my friend was eating chicken every second day. There wasn't much of regulation of hormone use back then.............then again, maybe one of his grandfathers was really tall.
It depends who measures, I guess
