How tall is YOUR country? Men from the Netherlands top the table at just under 6ft while women from Guatemala stand at 4'10
你国家人均高度多少?荷兰男人以约6英尺摘得桂冠,危地马拉女人以4英尺10英寸傲视女群。

Thank you DM for deleting my comments about every day atrocities that are now happeningChefDuJour1978
I think Gwendolyn Christy, while English, probably decends from the blonde, blue eyed vikings. She looks like she could easily be swedish.Moshi
Dutch men are the longest, but yet the English men are heavier. How is that possible?yonderponder
Dynamite comes in small packages and some like me even have nice wicks. :-)RalphSmith
Before the Second World War, men from the Netherlands were among the shortest in Europe. After the war, the government decided to change the diet focusing in the consumption of dairy products, especially milk, and fish.Yankee NationalistReply toRalphSmith
Grammar, George, grammar. Note the comma usage. Removing the relative clause leaves us with "dairy products and fish," not "milk and fish." Nothing is wrong with what Ralph wrote. It actually demonstrates a better command of grammar and punctuation than most comments, especially yours.Reailyn
I wish I was taller as a short 5'1 female. Shopping for clothes is awkward as most trousers are too long, shirts hang on me like dresses, and finding the right long dress that isn't too long is a struggle. I envy tall women as they do not have to struggle. But I do like having small and versatile feet as I am able to wear a Women's US size 5½ shoes all the way to size 7 shoes. And shopping for shoes isn't a struggle.gibli
Strange ! I would have thought that the terrain in Holland would not have evolved tall people as it is not necessary too be tall. Then again in the land ot the tall grass the local natives - the Wherethehellarewe tribe, are very small, pygmies in fact,mahatmacoatmabag
The availability of plentiful & relatively cheap food is what has spurred the growth, for that you don't need a study, what the study lacks is any linkage to longevity with height which I think is important to know given the increased prevalence of cancer as being a major cause of death nowadays.
