Improvement in economic status followed by improvement in food standards. That's how the average height of a population increases.
经济状况改善后，食品标准随之提升。一国人口平均身高就是这样增长的。

Correct. Though the article mentioned decline is much severe among poorest, I noticed as an NRI settler in USA for 25 years that those who come for MS from India are quite different from those who were born here. I recently was sitting in university waiting for my daughter and then are bunch of MS boys who were talking among themselves...they were around 30 of them. The difference between my daughter's friends (Indians who were raised here in USA)and them was quite contrast. They looked underweight/age than 18/19 year old ABCDs.
确实如此。尽管文章提到最贫困人群的身高下降尤为严重，但作为在美国定居 25 年的非居民印度人，我注意到从印度来读硕士的学生与这里土生土长的人差异显著。最近我在大学等女儿时，看到一群硕士男生在交谈...他们大约有 30 人。我女儿的朋友们（在美国长大的印度裔）和他们之间的对比非常鲜明。这些硕士生看起来比 18、19 岁的美国出生印度裔更瘦弱/显稚嫩。
I believe this will change in younger generation who were born around 10 years ago. Before that, child nutrition was not that great.
我相信这种情况在十年前出生的年轻一代中会有所改变。在那之前，儿童营养状况并不理想。

Every second gen Indian I know is tall and fit, I always joke it’s cause they’re corn fed. Childhood nutrition plays a huge role in size, genetically it’s there but poor kids are always smaller cause nutritious food is pricey. The US has a lot of fortified cheap foods specifically for this reason, but also cause they need fit poor soldiers to fight a rich man’s war haha.
我认识的每个印度二代移民都身材高挑健壮，我常开玩笑说这是因为他们"玉米喂大"的。童年营养对体型影响巨大——基因潜力固然存在，但贫困儿童往往更矮小，因为营养食品价格高昂。美国有大量强化营养的廉价食品正是为此，当然也因为他们需要健壮的穷人士兵去打富人的战争哈哈。

Even the most high protein vegetarian food items are either unaffordable to many or are not "savoury" enough to be eaten culturally. I haven't seen vegetarian people guzzling thick dals and eating nuts and beans in sufficient quantity. (No, chhole bhature does not have enough chhole, rajma chawal is better but it's not eaten everyday)
即便是蛋白质含量最高的素食，对许多人来说要么负担不起，要么在文化习惯上不够"美味可口"。我从未见过素食者大量饮用浓稠的豆汤，或是摄入足量的坚果和豆类。（不，鹰嘴豆炸饼里的鹰嘴豆根本不够，芸豆米饭虽然好些但并非日常饮食）

You have to cook up lentils and legumes for more consumption because they don't have the fat that meat or eggs does.
你必须多烹饪扁豆和豆类以供食用，因为它们不像肉类或鸡蛋那样含有脂肪。
That is why the only way so many Indians eat chhole is with bhature or rice.
这就是为什么许多印度人吃鹰嘴豆时总是搭配油饼或米饭。
A small amount of meat or eggs in your daily diet can basically give you the protein of 10 bowls of daal.

我在印度板球队中注意到一个奇怪的现象，看到里沙布·潘特、伊尚·基尚身高低于平均水平，甚至在我们的快速投球手中也没有任何体格魁梧的球员；罗科、维拉特·科利、KL·拉胡尔也都是平均身高，贾斯瓦尔也是如此；我曾以为随着我们国家变得更富裕，BCCI/板球运动变得更富有，这会在真正健康、高大强壮的球员身上体现出来，但它吸引的是来自低收入家庭的球员，他们为了在板球上变得非常熟练而牺牲了营养，导致发育迟缓。

Want to know the problem? This is the problem. I saw this reel where a teacher was sharing what kids have brought in tiffins and guess what, most of the students had something unhealthy high sugar, high carb, 0 protein adulterated food like kurkure, chips, cake, Maggie and what not. And what's more sad is that comments where filled with people being proud for being "roti sabji" gen which again includes low protein. When I called them out, this was their response. Our people don't even know the importance protein, unke liye khana vo jo paisa bhare. And other countries like China focuses more on protein diet so much so that kids are given free sausages in school and food like tofu isn't even considered protein enough for them. Now if you wonder why I take China's eg that is because there was a time when China's avg height was lower than Indians while it's opposite in today's time
想知道问题所在吗？这就是问题所在。我看到一个视频，一位老师分享了孩子们午餐盒里带了什么，你猜怎么着，大多数学生带的都是不健康的食物——高糖、高碳水、零蛋白质的掺假食品，比如库库雷、薯片、蛋糕、玛吉面等等。更可悲的是，评论区里充满了人们为“罗蒂萨布吉”一代感到自豪的言论，而这种饮食同样蛋白质含量低。当我指出这一点时，他们的回应是：我们的人甚至不知道蛋白质的重要性，对他们来说，食物就是能填饱肚子的东西。而像中国这样的国家更注重蛋白质饮食，以至于学校免费提供香肠给学生，像豆腐这样的食物对他们来说甚至被认为蛋白质不够。现在，如果你好奇为什么我拿中国举例，那是因为曾经有一段时间，中国人的平均身高低于印度人，而如今情况正好相反。

every one in India is a vegetarian nutritionally speaking.
从营养角度来说，印度几乎人人都是素食者。
non vegetarian is a dogshit term because even if someone ate two chicken pieces with 1 kg rice every weekend for one meal that day alone, they would be counted as non vegetarian. but in reality that is a meaningless amount of protein.
"非素食者"这个说法本身就很荒谬，因为哪怕有人只是每周末吃一餐，配着 1 公斤米饭吃两块鸡肉，也会被归为非素食者。但实际上那点蛋白质摄入量根本微不足道。
technically our non vegetarians in india are more protein deficient that milk heavy vegetarians, as those communities that digest milk well at least have a regular protein source

The real issue is diet - meals including starch: rice, chapati, and starchy vegetables layered together, with least protein. There was a time when govt promoted egg consumption (“Sunday ya Monday, roz khao anday”), post Modi era everything has weakened.
真正的问题在于饮食结构——以淀粉类食物为主的餐食：米饭、印度薄饼和淀粉类蔬菜层层叠加，蛋白质含量却最低。曾有一段时间，政府推广鸡蛋消费（“周日或周一，每天吃鸡蛋”），但在莫迪时代之后，一切都变得薄弱了。
countries like Thailand, South Korea, and Vietnam eat a wider variety of vegetables and more balanced diets than us.
像泰国、韩国和越南这样的国家，比我们食用的蔬菜种类更丰富，饮食结构也更均衡。

While not debating the veracity of the statistics, it's not the case in a lot of southern states - especially (but not only) Kerala.
虽然不争论统计数据的真实性，但在许多南方邦并非如此——尤其是（但不限于）喀拉拉邦。
At 5'11", I used to consider myself fairly tall by Kerala standards 20 years ago. Recently I have noticed that I am just average - especially compared to the younger generation (teens/20s).
我身高 5 英尺 11 英寸，20 年前在喀拉拉邦的标准下曾认为自己相当高。最近我注意到自己只是中等身高——尤其是与年轻一代（十几岁/二十几岁）相比。

Want to know the problem? This is the problem. I saw this reel where a teacher was sharing what kids have brought in tiffins and guess what, most of the students had something unhealthy high sugar, high carb, 0 protein adulterated food like kurkure, chips, cake, Maggie and what not. And what's more sad is that comments where filled with people being proud for being "roti sabji" gen which again includes low protein. When I called them out, this was their response. Our people don't even know the importance protein, unke liye khana vo jo paisa bhare. And other countries like China focuses more on protein diet so much so that kids are given free sausages in school and food like tofu isn't even considered protein enough for them. Now if you wonder why I take China's eg that is because there was a time when China's avg height was lower than Indians while it's opposite in today's time
想知道问题所在吗？这就是问题所在。我看到一个视频，一位老师分享了孩子们午餐盒里带了什么，你猜怎么着，大多数学生带的都是不健康的食物——高糖、高碳水、零蛋白质的掺假食品，比如库库雷、薯片、蛋糕、玛吉面等等。更可悲的是，评论区里充满了人们为“罗蒂萨布吉”一代感到自豪的言论，而这种饮食同样蛋白质含量低。当我指出这一点时，他们的回应是：我们的人甚至不知道蛋白质的重要性，对他们来说，食物就是能填饱肚子的东西。而像中国这样的国家更注重蛋白质饮食，以至于学校免费提供香肠给学生，像豆腐这样的食物对他们来说甚至被认为蛋白质不够。现在，如果你好奇为什么我拿中国举例，那是因为曾经有一段时间，中国人的平均身高低于印度人，而如今情况正好相反。

Nutritional quality of food and a vegetarian or Vegan diet, mostly due to religious restrictions.
食物的营养质量以及素食或纯素饮食，主要源于宗教限制。

every one in India is a vegetarian nutritionally speaking.
从营养角度来说，印度几乎人人都是素食者。
non vegetarian is a dogshit term because even if someone ate two chicken pieces with 1 kg rice every weekend for one meal that day alone, they would be counted as non vegetarian. but in reality that is a meaningless amount of protein.
"非素食者"这个说法本身就很荒谬，因为哪怕有人只是每周末吃一餐，配着 1 公斤米饭吃两块鸡肉，也会被归为非素食者。但实际上那点蛋白质摄入量根本微不足道。
technically our non vegetarians in india are more protein deficient that milk heavy vegetarians, as those communities that digest milk well at least have a regular protein source
从营养学角度看，印度的非素食者其实比大量饮奶的素食者更缺乏蛋白质——那些能很好消化乳制品的群体至少拥有稳定的蛋白质来源。

True. I have seen abroad in UK white kids literally guzzle down milk in a whole bottle and have whole fish and lots of meat all Us guys give piece of fish to a growing child and one person of noodles gets watered down with 5 people of water
确实。我在国外英国见过白人小孩真的能一口气喝掉一整瓶牛奶，吃整条鱼和大量肉类。而我们这些人给成长中的孩子一小块鱼，一个人的面条要兑五个人的水来稀释

我公寓里的下一代孩子身高都超过 6 英尺（约 1.83 米）。我身高 6 英尺 3 英寸（约 1.91 米）。他们无一例外都摄入了大量乳制品和富含蛋白质的食物，并且很活跃。

Pure veg khao. Panchgavya is good for height too. Jo kha raha meat use denigrate karo. Milkar inbreed karo aur sabki naslein kharab karo.
纯素饮食有益健康。无牛制品对身高也有好处。那些吃肉的人应该受到谴责。近亲繁殖会破坏所有人的基因。

Poor knowledge and consumption of nutrition. E.g. think "takat" (energy) is in the roti or chawal (rice, chapati) and neglect foods with protein.
营养知识匮乏且摄入不足。例如，人们认为“能量”来自罗蒂或查瓦（米饭、恰巴提），而忽视了富含蛋白质的食物。

Height rises when nutrition and living standards go up. S Korea is the biggest example as their average height increased drastically. Average height decreasing means the average Indian is WORSE off than before, so the economic gains are only for the sext few.
当营养和生活水平提高时，身高就会增长。韩国就是最显著的例子，他们的平均身高大幅提升。平均身高下降意味着普通印度人的状况比以前更糟，因此经济增长的成果只惠及少数人。

Interesting. Always though our generation was taller than our parents' generation. It is true for almost all my friends and relatives. Maybe the getting smaller problem is for poor people only?this would validate the lower nutrition hypothesis
有趣。我一直以为我们这一代人比父母那一代要高。这在我几乎所有朋友和亲戚身上都成立。也许变矮的问题只发生在穷人身上？这正好印证了营养不足的假说。

Indian diet is awful. The food tastes great but everyone in the north of India looks skinny fat. They have a pooch belly with little muscle. That's indicative of a low protein diet and lack of exercise.
印度饮食状况堪忧。食物味道虽佳，但印度北部地区的人们普遍呈现"瘦胖子"体型——腹部赘肉明显而肌肉量不足。这反映出蛋白质摄入不足及缺乏锻炼的问题。
