Chinese people gain in height A recent report in the medical journal Lancet says Chinese people have been gaining in height in the past 30 years. The report says the average height of 19-year-old Chinese males is 175.7 centimeters, making them the fifth tallest in Asia and the tallest in East Asia; the average height of Chinese females is 163.5 cm, the tallest in the region. More importantly, from 1985 to 2019, the average height of Chinese males saw the biggest rise among all 200 countries and regions surveyed, while that of women ranked third. The Netherlands has the tallest average height on Earth. The average 19-year-old man stands at 183 cm, while women of the same age are typically 172 cm. The study concluded that social, nutritional, and environmental factors at home, school and within the community were all crucial to the healthy growth and development of children through to adolescence. |
