After 1750, global population figures began to rise significantly due to factors like the Agricultural Revolution, improvements in medicine, and sanitation. By 1800, the world population reached approximately 1 billion. This growth accelerated in the 19th and 20th centuries, with the population surpassing 2 billion by 1927 and reaching around 7.9 billion by 2021. Projections suggest it may reach 9.7 billion by 2050.
The most likely explanation is the abundance of food versus the population size. The population in 1750 was less than in 1900 so the amount of food per head was greater thus leading to a better diet and, not to put too fine a point on it, chubbier figures. However you do have to consider the localized famines in 1750. This led to some having rather gaunt figures though others became bloated with starvation.
In 1750, the population of the world was 629 million people. By the year 1950, the population had increased to 2.52 billion.
About 140 million in 1750 and 180m in 1800.

In 1750, the population of Asia is estimated to be around 400 to 500 million people. This figure varied significantly by region, with densely populated areas such as China and India contributing the most to the total. Asia was the most populous continent at that time, reflecting its long history of civilization and agriculture. However, exact population figures from that era are difficult to determine due to limited historical records.
