Ages of the anthropometric data in PeopleSize 2020.

PeopleSize adjusts all its data to the most recent authoritative sources of stature and weight.  In general, weight is changing more over time than stature.

This table gives details about the year in which the surveys were carried out, the type of source, and the age and income groups available (income level is associated with certain trends in height and weight).  There can be lags of several years between measurements being taken and the data being published.

If you know of any more recent data, please let us know.
