このコンテンツについて
In this episode, we discuss a recent study in Nature that shows that rural children are now growing slightly taller than city children in wealthy countries. The study, which combined data from over 2,000 population-based studies across 200 countries with 71 million participants, found that the "urban advantage" that researchers normally point to has diminished over the past 30 years. We explore possible reasons for this trend, including the increase in consumption of vegetable oils, which are high in polyunsaturated fats that can suppress the immune system and increase the risk of cancer, and air pollution, which can stunt growth in children. Join us as we delve into the potential impact of these factors on the growth and development of children and adolescents.
