Guatemalans are short because of chronic malnutrition not because of genetics. Guatemalans born and raised in the us are much taller.

Perhaps, yeah they can add some inches with nutrition. They are still shorter than much poorer countries like Haiti. A rich country like Japan has a short average height so nutrition helps up to a point.

It’s only a couple inches shorter than Americans and a lot of that is still based on how much and the kinds of protein people eat.
