🚨Shocking Revelation! The Amazing Genetic Code Behind Men's Taller Height Than Women's Exposed!

Global Phenomenon: On average, men are taller than women, but the genetic secrets behind this have just been unveiled by scientists.

A research team from Pennsylvania analyzed data from over a thousand individuals with abnormal chromosome combinations and found that the key lies in the SHOX gene on the X and Y chromosomes—an important 'switch' that regulates height.

Compared to the partially silent X chromosome in females, the SHOX gene on the Y chromosome in males is more active, contributing to an average increase in height of about 3.1 centimeters (1.2 inches). This partially explains the height difference of 12.85 to 13.7 centimeters between the sexes.

The study pointed out that the difference in SHOX gene activity accounts for about 22.6% of the height difference between genders, while other factors such as environment and hormones (like higher testosterone levels in males) also play a role.

This discovery not only deepens the understanding of the genetic mechanisms of height but also provides important clues for future exploration of gender-related diseases (such as women's higher susceptibility to Alzheimer's disease).

Scientists emphasize that distinguishing the effects of genes and hormones on gender differences will help reveal the gender-specific mechanisms of cardiovascular, autoimmune, and mental diseases, advancing the development of precision medicine!
