Are inequalities in height narrowing? Comparing effects of social class on height in two generations

21 Oct 2004

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether social inequalities in height change across generations. METHODS: The target population was from the 1958 British birth cohort, all born 3rd-9th March 1958, followed to 1991, and the offspring of one third of this population. Main outcomes were height measured at 7, 11, 16, and 33 years (cohort members) and once at 4-18 years (offspring). Multilevel models applied to associations...
