This paper investigates height and weight differences between the two Koreas by comparing national anthropometric data published by the South Korean Research Institute of Standard and Science with United Nations survey data collected inside North Korea in 2002. For socioeconomic reasons, pre-school children raised in the developing country of North Korea are up to 13 cm shorter and up to 7 kg lighter than children who were brought up in South Korea--an OECD member. North Korean women were also found to weigh up to 9 kg less than their Southern counterparts.
本文通过比较韩国标准科学研究院发布的全国人体测量数据与2002年在朝鲜境内收集的联合国调查数据，研究了朝韩两国在身高和体重方面的差异。出于社会经济原因，在朝鲜这个发展中国家抚养长大的学龄前儿童，比在经合组织成员国韩国长大的儿童矮多达13厘米，轻多达7公斤。研究还发现，朝鲜女性比韩国女性体重轻多达9公斤。
