Avg. Height of East Asians(1930s)

I found this stastics while surfing the net.  This is avg. height of East Asian people during 1930s.  I think this data represnt  height of each East Asian people before modern times.  Since, this is the time before industrilization and improved diet increased avg. height of East Asians. 

Anyway, the tallest people in East Asia in 1930s were people from Hebei province(near Beijing)  while the shortest people in East Asia was from Okinawa, Japan.

Is that for men or men and women. If it's the latter it's not a lot different from now.

I found this info on one of the Korean forum (dcinside).  He did not mention his original source.   So I don't know what his original source is.

And I am pretty sure that the above average is for men. 

Todays statistics indicate that northern Han Chinese are the tallest east Asians. With northeast China having the highest average height at 177cm.

-------------------------------------------

the original poster said the koreans stats are from 1930-34 and others are somewhat different but mostly before 1945

and that the sitting height was all similar, although standing heights differ.

OK. Enough is enough. I am fed up with infantile posts like those posted by Singintang and Dayanhan that serve no purpose but to hijack every single thread and turn it into opportunities to denigrate another nation and to provoke anger from fellow forumers. Whether you two are identical twins or clones of one another, I don't care. If you harbour so much hatred and contempt towards people from another country, join a hate group where you can find ignorant and idiotic like-minded people like you instead of a HISTORY discussion forum. A history forum is for intelligent people to discuss historical issues.  You certainly don't qualify to be members of us.

So consider this your first OFFICIAL WARNING. You either change your attitude or quit. (I suggest the latter.)
