Genetic and environmental contributions to the association between body height and educational attainment: a study of adult Finnish twins.

Behavior genetics - 1 Nov 2000

Silventoinen K, Kaprio J, Lahelma E

Abstract excerpt

The nature of the association between body height and educational attainment found in previous studies remains to be clarified. The aim of this study was to examine factors contributing to this association by using a large Finnish twin data set (8798 adult twin pairs) gathered by questionnaire in 1981. A bivariate twin analysis was used to determine whether the genetic and environmental factors behind body height...
