I wonder how this compares to North Korean rates? Same people genetically but vastly different culture and system at this point.

  Different people genetically. North Koreans were noticeably shorter on average by the year 2000, less than two generations after the split.

    Interesting, didn't know that!

      North Koreans are likely shorter due to malnourishment, not genetic differences.

        Yeah exactly. Being hungry doesn't change your genes!

    That's probably mostly due to terrible childhood nutrition. The same thing happened to humans when they switched from being hunter-gatherers to using agriculture: they dropped a foot in height.
