Poor diet: Children 20cm shorter as a result, analysis says
A global analysis suggests that on average the world's tallest teenagers live in the Netherlands.
It reports that in 2019 the tallest 19-year-old boys lived in the Netherlands (183.8cm or 6ft) and the shortest lived in Timor Leste (160.1cm or 5ft 3in).
Meanwhile the UK's global height ranking fell, with 19-year-old boys being 39th tallest in 2019 (1.78m or 5ft 10in) from 28th tallest in 1985.
I wonder if the BBC factored in that the UK has wayy more deathnicks in our population now than back in 1985?
