 The aim of this note is to investigate isoperimetric-type problems for
 
-dimensional
 parallelohedra; that is, for convex polyhedra whose translates tile the
 
-dimensional
 Euclidean space. Our main result states that among
 
-dimensional
 parallelohedra with unit volume, the one with minimal mean width is the regular
 truncated octahedron.
