British children are growing taller but not for the right reasons

British children are getting taller… but not for the reasons you might think. New research from the University of Oxford shows the increase is linked to rising childhood obesity, particularly in the poorest areas, not improvements in overall population health. The findings suggest this trend is closely tied to growing inequality, where access to nutrition, safe outdoor environments and opportunities differs across the UK. #oxford #oxforduniversity #research #oxfordresearch
