Changes in measures raise heights and weights across nations
A short summary notes that after adopting new standard measures, Americans gain up to 300 of an ounce in weight and about 1 eight-thousandth of an inch in height, while Canadians grow taller and heavier due to previously longer units. The rest stay short and light. Britain, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand had used shorter inches and lighter pounds.
