The average height of 19-year-old Dutch orphans in 1865 was 160 cm (5 ft 3 in).

The worst decline was in urban areas that in 1847, the urban height penalty was 2.5 cm (1.0 in).

During their peak height velocity (the time of most rapid growth), adolescents grow at a growth rate nearly identical to that of a toddler—about 10.3 cm (4 inches) per year for males and 9 cm (3.5 inches) per year for females.
