Our parents always tell us to eat healthily to grow tall and strong. A new study shows that Chinese people are getting taller. Over the past 100 years, Chinese people have reached new average heights. The average heights of both Chinese men and women rose by about 10 cm. The Imperial College London of the UK did a study. They compared the average heights of 18-year-olds between 1914 and 2023. In 2023, Chinese men reached an average height of 172cm, up from 161cm in 1914. And the average height for Chinese women in 2023 was 160cm, compared to 150cm a century ago. Chinese people are now taller than people in some other countries. Chinese women are the 87th tallest in the world, climbing 47 places. Chinese men are the 93rd tallest, CNN reported. Most scientists think that better nutrition in childhood is the main reason for this height increase, Scientific American reported. About 60 to 80 percent of the difference in height between different people is because of genetic factors. But 20 to 40 percent of the difference is because of environmental factors, mainly nutrition. Having a healthier diet as a child can cause one's height to increase.  Height around the world  Countries with the tallest men 1. The Netherlands 2. Belgium 3. Estonia 4. Latvia 5.
