Why are Utah's whites much taller than other whites in the US?

Although for the blonde part.... much of it has to do with peroxide when it comes to the female population here It seems that the a-line hair cut, bleached hair, and dark eyebrow look, arrived late in Utah (compared to other places in the country), and has stayed put. It is what it is.

I was talking almost exclusively about mormons from salt lake city (usually males), not only they are very blond quite often but they also have very northern european faces, like sharp features and straight noses. I've noticed most whites in other states further away from midwest have more often rounder faces/body builds and puffier looks.

A lot of those mormons have the usually hollywoodesque "aryan looks" that is very common among northern europeans in scandinavia, netherlands and northern germany.
