[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did anyone mention ethnicity? Asian men are genetically short. The average height is 5’5” for many Asian countries. Specifically India is 5’6”. [/quote] I don't think stating average height in other countries is helpful...presumably OP's son has been raised in the US with some semblance of an American diet.[/quote] Genetics, not diet. Japanese people are also genetically shorter.[/quote] I don't think genetics exist in a vacuum without other factors at play. Diet, environmental factors, etc impact height. That's why I don't think looking at the average height of a man in another country is really all that relevant. [/quote] +1 even within each race, people are taller now than they were 100 years ago because of diet and other environmental factors. Celiac disease or other environmental factors can make one shorter.[/quote]
