Abstract
In this paper, we build on the literature that examines associations between height and health outcomes of the elderly. We investigate the associations of height shrinkage at older ages with socioeconomic status, finding that height shrinkage for both men and women is negatively associated with better schooling, current urban residence, and household per capita expenditures. We then investigate the relationships between pre-shrinkage height, height shrinkage, and a rich set of health outcomes of older respondents, finding that height shrinkage is positively associated with poor health outcomes across a variety of outcomes, being especially strong for cognition outcomes.
摘要
在本文中，我们以研究老年人身高与健康结果之间关联的文献为基础。我们调查了老年人身高缩减与社会经济地位之间的关联，发现男性和女性的身高缩减与更好的教育程度、当前城市居住状况以及家庭人均支出呈负相关。然后，我们研究了缩减前身高、身高缩减与老年受访者一系列丰富的健康结果之间的关系，发现身高缩减与各种健康结果不佳呈正相关，对认知结果的影响尤为强烈。
