ONE HUNDRED years of latest researching findings have shown that environmental and nutrition factors have significant influences not only on the mental but the physical height of people across the world.
The study, published Tuesday, July 26, in the journal eLife, brings together data from 187 countries over a century from 1914 to 2014, tracking growth trends around the world. The research shows that Europe has come to completely dominate the growth charts, with the top ten countries in both the male and female charts coming from Europe.
Significant in the findings is the fact that a healthy pollution- free environment, access to clean water and other health-boosting factors play key roles in the growth of adolescents. Another crucial factor, according to the findings, is nutrition which many health experts have claimed has been on the declining as adolescents are daily gulping non-balanced diet in the form of snacks.
Lead researcher Professor Majid Ezzati, from Imperial College London, said: “This study gives us a picture of the health of nations over the past century, and reveals the average height of some nations may even be shrinking while others continue to grow taller.
“This confirms we urgently need to address children and adolescents’ environment and nutrition on a global scale, and ensure we’re giving the world’s children the best possible start in life.

Environment and hereditary play a major role in determining height.
If the gene for height was passed down to you, the environment(food)will either hinder it or enhance it.

Your bro inherited the height, it's not d food that made them to grow taller
