console master: are you offended when people say that men are generally taller than women? are you offended that Secret sells a deodorant that is pH balanced for women? are you offended that sunscreen is generally not marketed for black people? if so, you're in for a hard, humorless life. At work, we use EPA estimates for average adult body weights. Men are assumed to be 70 kg, women are assumed to be 60 kg. Does that offend you too? Should we assume just one average of 65 kg and run all the risk assessment scenarios that way?
the data i linked is for japan and hong kong. I found no data for southeast asian countries, though I have no reason to believe that, with the exception of random subgroup X, that the average heights should be any taller than those of hong-kong-- height has increased with standard of living, and the standards of living in SE asian countries are considerably below that of japan and korea (please don't ask me to prove that too with numbers).
finally, i'm amazed that my being asian should affect what you think I can conclude about asian populations. That it a bigoted opinion, if there ever was one.
