Hare Krishna to all of you,
I read somewhere the age of human being are reduces according to yugas cycles.
The ages see a gradual decline of dharma, wisdom, knowledge, and intellectual capability, and life span, emotional and physical strength.
- Satya Yuga: - Virtue reigns supreme. Human stature was 21 cubits. Average human lifespan was 100,000 years.
- Treta Yuga: - There was 3 quarter virtue & 1 quarter sin. Normal human stature was 14 cubits. Average human lifespan was 10,000 years.
- Dwapar Yuga: - There was 1 half virtue & 1 half sin. Normal human stature was 7 cubits. Average human lifespan was 1000 years.
- Kali Yuga: - There was 1 quarter virtue & 3 quarter sin. Normal human stature was 3.5 cubits. Average human lifespan will be 100 years.
- Towards the end of the Yuga this will come down to 20 years.
So guide me these are real or myths.
Note: If my doubt/ question are not proper or ethical the kindly ignore it and don’ts comments.
Your Servant.

:) yes, in other yugas people were very big in size. For example, the second wife of Lord Balarama was from Satya Yuga. The case was like the next:
One brahmana or king had a virtuous daughter and was not able to find a suitable husband for her. Because of that he took his daughter and they went to Lord Brahma to request him to help to find for her a suitable husband.
When they arrived to Satyaloka they saw Lord Brahma hearing some musical instruments and they waited for some time in order not to disturb him. After few minutes the music was over and they told to Lord Brahma their desire. Suddenly Lord Brahma started to laugh loudly and he told that finished all Your dynasty already is not there. Because while you were waiting here till i hear the music many generations past away on Earth.
But he told that she will be married to Lord Himself.
When they came back to Earth they found that everyone left and billions of years past. Then they meet Lord Balarama and approached him for marriage.
Near to Lord Balarama daughter of a King was too big in size. So Lord took His plow and touching her head decreased her size.
....
It is true that people in Kali yuga will be small. It says that the size of cows will be like of dogs. They won't give milk. the average age will be 14-15...there will be lack for grains and milk. People will give birth to children in order to fill their bellies...
BECAUSE OF THAT KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS IF AN EMERGENCY. AS SOON AS POSSIBLE WE HAVE TO TAKE OUT OF THIS PLACE.
Your servant,
