People were definitely shorter 60 years ago but they were a lot skinnier too. You can even go back and look at a video taken in the 1980s and you'll notice a big difference.

The average weight for men rose "dramatically," in the CDC's words, from 166.3 pounds in 1960 to 191 pounds in 2002. Women went from 140.2 pounds in 1960 to 164.3 pounds in 2002.

The study concluded in 2002 so the number has definitely gotten higher by now.

Both men and women in the United States [in 2002] are roughly an inch taller and 25 pounds heavier than they were in 1960, the study concludes.
