The Dutch are getting smaller... but luckily for them, they're still taller than everybody else on Earth.
Dutch people born in 2001 are shorter than those born in 1980, a study by the country's statistics office has found.
The average 19-year-old man in the Netherlands today is 6ft tall (182.9cm), while the typical woman is 5ft 7in (169.3cm).
