In recent years, the height of Chinese has been a topic of great concern. Especially under the concern of parents, more and more children have problems with height development.
Parents often put a lot of thought and time into their children's height development, because a child's height development not only represents health, but may also be related to their future development.
And what is the height of Chinese today? A recent study from The Lancet may give us some answers.
First, the height of the Chinese changed their lives against the sky, how to achieve "coming from behind"?
According to the latest Lancet research report, the height of Chinese has been increasing continuously for nearly 35 years, especially 19-year-olds, whose average height has reached 175.7 cm, while the average height of women is 163.5 cm.
Compared with the data of the same period last year, these figures have increased significantly, and China's height growth has also surpassed that of other countries in the world, becoming one of the "world's largest increases".
In fact, the reason why Chinese have been able to achieve a height reversal in just 35 years is mainly due to the country's economic development and the improvement of people's living standards.
In the past 50 years, China's economy was not very developed, so people's living standards were relatively low, and the long-term vegetarian life also directly led to a certain decline in the height level at that time.
With the founding of New China, the country began to continue to carry out economic construction, and people's living standards were also constantly improving, which also made their dietary structure improve to a certain extent, and began to gradually appear "meat", and these changes also provided a great guarantee for the height development of future generations.
Later, with the progress of reform and opening up, China's economic development has reached a new height, and people's living standards have been greatly improved.
The awareness of nutrition and height has gradually taken root in the hearts of the people, and in today's China, a variety of health products and nutritional products can be seen everywhere, and people have begun to pay more attention to the height development of themselves and their children, which has also greatly improved China's height level.
