British children are shorter than their European peers , says experts

According to a study, British children who experienced austerity as a child are shorter than children in other European nations, including France, Denmark, Bulgaria, and Lithuania. According to the Guardian, experts have connected this to a bad national diet and funding cuts to the NHS. Height is a measure of a child's overall living conditions, including stress, sleep quality, and poverty, according to researchers.
