Average height decreasing for Americans

[Beetlejuice]

"While weight is going up, height is going down. According to the new report, the overall average height for women decreased slightly from 162.1 centimeters (5 feet, 3.8 inches) in 1999-2000 to 161.7 centimeters (5 feet, 3.7 inches) in 2015-16. For men, the average height in 1999-2000 was 175.6 centimeters (5 feet, 9.2 inches). It increased until 2003-04, when the average height was 176.4 centimeters (5 feet, 9.4 inches), and then decreased again until 2015-16, when it was 175.4 centimeters (5 feet, 9.1 inches)."

it’s unironically because whites are having less children and hispanics are fastest growing racial group in the US. americans aren’t actually getting shorter there’s just a lot of mexican immigrants and they’re short ngl

I think it has to do with the demographic aging ngl.
