Men Grew Taller and Heavier at Twice the Rate of Women Over the Century: Study Reveals
A new study has revealed that over the past century, men have grown taller and gained weight at nearly twice the rate of women. The research, which analyzed global data spanning 100 years, found that improvements in nutrition, healthcare, and living conditions have contributed to the overall increase in human height and weight.
However, the study also highlights gender disparities, with men experiencing greater physical changes than women. Experts suggest that factors such as differences in occupational demands, biological responses to nutrition, and societal expectations may have contributed to this disparity.
Additionally, the study raises concerns about the implications of rising body weight, particularly with the increasing prevalence of obesity-related health issues. Researchers emphasize the need for tailored health policies to address these changes and promote balanced growth across genders.
