1 Finally, if you scientifically engineer a new substance or organism, your invention is eligible for a patent.  If your idea is an abstract theory that would be impossible to put into practice, you probably can't patent it.
The average U.S. womanâs height is 5 feet 3.8 inches tall. Based on body mass index and desirable body weight formulas, the average woman in the nation -- who is about 5-foot-4 -- weighs more than her desirable body weight. This increases her risk for developing chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease.
Furthermore, the average height of an adult woman has increased over the last decade. For example in 1914 the average woman height in the USA was 158.5 centimeters and in 2014 it had risen by 5 cm to 163.5 cms according to the Imperial College of London. If you read my average weight pages, I express my muted anger about the CDCâs misleading statistics that make the average weight seem very overweight.
