According to the latest study by researchers from the Imperial College of London, poor nutrition in school-going children is one of the main reasons behind a height gap of 20 cm between children in different parts of the world. The researchers analysed over 65 million children, aged between 5 to 19 from 193 countries to reach the conclusion. While Netherlands had the tallest boy and girls, Bangladesh and Guatemala had the shortest.
