And still to come on the Global News Podcast... It's the case for all countries. I think every country in the world that heights have increased in men and women, but much more in men than it is in women. In some countries, that divergence is still ongoing.

I think every country in the world that heights have increased in men and women, but much more in men or somewhat more in men, a double than it is in women. In some countries, that divergence is still ongoing.

In other countries, such as the UK, it probably flattened out 1970 to 1980, if you look at adults then.
