Misused measurement units :snoo_facepalm:

This article speaks about the average height of women around the world. Nearly all data is in inches, which may be true for the US data, I'm sure all the non-US data was converted. Then they offer this useless, hard to interpret factoid:

In the 1960s, the average American woman was about an inch shorter. Data from the U.S. National Health Survey statistics from 1960–1962 found women in the U.S. averaged about 5 feet 3 inches tall. From 1896 to 1996, NCD-RisC data found the average female height in Europe and Central Asia increased by 11 centimeters.

Pro tip: Mixing units makes your comparisons hard to compare..
