Sanda is a tall woman from Latvia’s capital, Riga.She says, "I'm so used to my height that I don't pay attention to it. However, I've heard that guys like tall girls; so it is a good thing."In 2014, the top 10 tallest nations for men and women were mainly in Europe. Many scientists believe that people in Europe have grown taller in recent years because of improved nutrition.However, the average height in many African and Middle Eastern nations has declined since 1914. In East Timor, the average man is 160 centimeters tall. Many people also are short in Yemen, Laos, Madagascar and a number of Asian and African countries.The British scientists say that the United States reached a plateau in growth about 20 years ago. In other words, the average of height of young adults has changed little during that period.But really, who cares? Is there a good reason for being tall?According to some earlier studies, the answer could be, yes.For example, one study explored the relationship between a person’s height and their future earnings. American researchers led this investigation. They found that “taller workers receive a notable wage or earnings premium in developing economies.” Their findings were reported in the Journal of Human Capital.
