"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data show that the average American woman today weighs about as much as the average 1960s man."
That is a disgusting statistic.
- zdw 11y agoThat's kind of shame-y. The average woman of today is likely as tall or taller than the average 1960's man, so corresponding weight increases would be reasonable.
- simplexion 11y agoAverage height for women increased from slightly over 5-3 in 1960 to 5-4 in 2002.
- Frozenlock 11y agoExcept this isn't 'corresponding weight increases'. People in USA (and many other countries) are just fatter.
- thrownaway2424 11y agoFor Americans? Not even close.
- Jtsummers 11y agohttp://m.livescience.com/49-decade-study-americans-taller-fatter.html http://m.livescience.com/49-decade-study-americans-taller-fa... Women and men are both only an inch taller on average compared to 1960. And women are 4" shorter on average today than the average 1960s man.
