Height difference
Summary: It has been found that the average height of men has increased from 5'5" to 5'10" since 1870. This serves as an indicator, though not a fault-proof indicator, that on average, health has improved. One interesting note is that there was a significant increase during WWII and the Great Depression. There unfortunately is not similar data for women because there was not enough historical data.
