West Point cadets born in the 1880s were taller (+1.46cm) than those born in the 1860s and had significantly higher BMI values (+0.85). However, the cadets were on average undernourished by modern standards, with today's average reference values being about 5 BMI units higher than those of the cadets. Substantial regional differences existed for both height and weight. While West Point cadets born in the 1880s in the Upper South achieved on average a height of 173.2cm and a BMI of 21.0, their peers from New England were 171.5cm tall with a BMI of 21.6.
19 世纪 80 年代出生的西点军校学员比 19 世纪 60 年代出生的学员身高高（+1.46cm），BMI 值也显著更高（+0.85）。然而，按照现代标准，这些学员平均都处于营养不足的状态，今天的平均参考值比学员的 BMI 值高出约 5 个单位。身高和体重都存在显著的地区差异。19 世纪 80 年代，在上南部地区出生的西点军校学员平均身高为 173.2cm，BMI 值为 21.0，而新英格兰地区的同龄学员身高为 171.5cm，BMI 值为 21.6。
