For example, the study indicated that an average 19-year-old Bangladeshi and Guatemalan girl has the same height as an average 11-year girl from the Netherlands. Bangladesh and Guatemala have the shortest girls, and the Netherlands has the tallest girls and boys in the entire world<\/p>\n

The team also gave a warning about the varying nutrition children get. If there is a lack of quality diet, it could result in growth stunt or obesity, which could affect children for the rest of their life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
