I don't think general population changed at all.

Mean BMI has also increased. Although height has also increased this increase has been much more modest.

  I think it's fair to say the average weight of the general population has grown quite a bit in the past century...

  I don't mean this in a trolling way but do you really think the US population overall isn't going to be taller and heavier from 1927 till today?

  There has been a general increase in human height, in developed countries, for many decades.
