While the average height of Japanese adults had grown some 15 cm (nearly 6 inches) over the past century with improved nutrition and public health conditions, it has started to decline for those born in 1980 or later, recent research has shown.
A research team at the National Center for Child Health and Development in Tokyo analyzed data on some 3.15 million adults and concluded the declining trend in average height may be attributed to increases in low-birth-weight infants in the country — those who weighed 2,500 grams (5.5 pounds) or lighter at birth.
The findings by Naho Morisaki and other researchers were published last year in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.
According to the study, the height of an average Japanese adult peaked for those born in 1978 and 1979 at 171.4 cm (5.6 feet) for men and 158.5 cm (5.2 feet) for women. The figures for those born in 1996 stood at 170.82 cm for men and 158.31 cm for women — 0.64 cm and 0.21 cm shorter than peak levels, respectively.

Jose Bailey
The difference shows in their media
Just compare the most recent and overtly homosexual digimon series to the first one from twenty years ago where the characters were all red blooded and got into fist fights with each other at the drop of a hat, holy fuck the next crop of jap kids are going to be little dicksucking faggots
Kayden Hernandez
indeed, the problem is I come from a poor cunt so I would not be interesting for asian women.

Nathan Gray

Jackson Anderson
how can one actually meet a japanese girl online? people get tall by eating tons of meat and dairy products, which is not exactly healthy. maybe the japanese are making wiser choices.
Dylan Price
This white dont matter its rich countries....then again bobby oligun an other black brown gyys have dobe it like stefen bryan
Ayden Thompson
>maybe the japanese are making wiser choices. yes it's the healthy choices that make whole generations progressively shorter. brilliant reasoning
Justin Evans
>the average jap is taller than me

Easton Brown

>it has started to decline for those born in 1980 or later, recent research has shown. They are starting to reach peak efficiency. Less body mass, lower caloric requirements, less muscle and joint problems, longer lifespans. In 100 years from now the Japanese being born will reach a height of 15cm and live for thousands of years.
Thomas Lee
Will they also develop pointy ears and become aroused when forced to do lewd things?
Benjamin Hall

This chart looks strange. Old men are short If it's all the populations, the chart is more short in 1970-80.
Elijah Diaz
Makes sense. I know loads of half Jap half Thai and half Jap half Filipinos. They're pretty short.
Logan Kelly

Brody Nguyen
Thankfully, yes. It's the course of nature.
Kayden Robinson
Wait, you'd rather be awkwardly tall for most things and live twenty years less than someone who can take advantage of a world designed to facilitate females and live twenty years longer? Christ, that's some powerful insecurity, mate.
why are all krauts so unironically butthurt at amerimutts? is it because you lost both world wars to them?
Juan Hill
kys retarded kraut genuine yamato race can detect non-yamato easily, as we have means of communication only used among yamato. we don't say that outright though.
Cooper Perez
Japanlets
Cooper Hernandez
I can when they're not trying to merge into japanese society but when they do, it's pretty hard Not to mention gook faced guys like the TV comedian guy chihara seems to be pure japanese when I totally thought he's pure gook
Liam Richardson
I really can't tell you guys apart, to me even your languages sound the same.
Caleb Bell
>muh height! On the long term, when you get old, it is better to be a manlet. Anything above 185cm is too tall
Xavier Perez
Midget detected.

You know Japan, like pretty much all of the countries of the world except for the Americas and and few others, doesn't have jus soli, a lot of those Koreans in Japan can actually apply to become Japanese citizens but they rather stay with their Korean citizenship, sometimes it doesn't even make much of a difference, a Korean passport is almost as powerful as a Japanese one (the only significant difference is that with a Japanese passport you can go visa-free to China, Russia, Mongolia and Namibia)
Isaiah Diaz
I forgot that also the Korean goverment banned its citizens the travel to Irak, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Yemen and Lybia because some of its missionaries were being killed.
Jackson Wright
Turns out the height boom is thanks to post-war American rape babies wow.
Andrew Price
For example Son Masayosi was born in 1957 in Japan and Japanese is his mother tongue but he didn't became a Japanese citizen until 1990.
