Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Adult-attained height is associated with later-life health, but it reflects both genetic and nongenetic influences. The health implications of height variation not explained by known common height-associated genetic variants remain unclear. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to examine associations of residual height (height variation independent of known genetic variants) with multiple disease incidence...
