The role of nutrition and genetics as key determinants of the positive height trend.

Economics and human biology - 1 Dec 2014

Grasgruber P, Cacek J, Kalina T, Sebera M

The aim of this study was to identify the most important variables determining current differences in physical stature in Europe and some of its overseas offshoots such as Australia, New Zealand and USA. We collected data on the height of young men from 45 countries and compared them with long-term averages of food consumption from the FAOSTAT database, various development indicators compiled by the World Bank...
