      I’m not 100% sure but I believe that better sanitation, healthcare and nutrition compared to 100 years ago means that people are now taller. So, people are getting all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, carbohydrates etc needed to build their bodies and we are healthy because of mass vaccination and we have sewage systems so we don’t have contaminated water etc.
