NO. Asians are short, because their genetic pool contains genes that are not high anabolic hormone output. Period. It is the same reason why Asians have smaller skeletal frames (Im not just talking height here, in an interview with the width of the shoulders, the size of their bones, as her wrist, etc.). It is [...]

People from big family with lots of relatives, sisters and brothers are relatively shorter in stature height. You know why? 1 of 1000 young Dutch men is more than 2 meters or 6 feet 6 and half an inch in size Protestants than Catholics, even in a country as small as Holland, there are significant [...]

People tend to lose height as they age. This is mostly related to osteoporosis and reduced water content in the disks (so that the distance between each vertebra is reduced). On average, women lose about 2 inches over their lifetime, while men lose about 1 inch. Found this post helpful? Buy me a beer!

As you may have noticed, gender has a significant effect on height: The growth spurt around the time of puberty occurs two years earlier in girls when compared with boys, but the boys tend to be taller when it begins. Most of the average height difference between adult men and women (about 5 inches) relates [...]

One commonly quoted formula uses parental height and gender to predict adult height (in inches) as follows:  For men: (height of mother + height of father + 5)/2. For women: (height of mother + height [...]

Genes, nutrition, and overall health have their effects right from the beginning. Rather predictably, we achieve about half of our adult height by age 2. So one way to predict ultimate height is simply to double the height achieved by the second birthday. Another approach is this height predictor which only predicts children who are [...]

A well-balanced and appropriate diet maintained throughout childhood in the absence of illness will probably lead to the maximum height possible; beyond that, there is no evidence that enriching a diet with (or avoiding) a particular food will alter the height one is otherwise destined to reach. For example, there is no compelling evidence that [...]
