The recent secular trend in height of primary school children was estimated using data from schools participating in the National Study of Health and Growth in 1972, 1979 and 1986. About 50% of the trends from 1972 to 1979 for English and Scottish boys and girls were accounted for by changes in family size, with some contribution from increases in parental height and from birthweight, but almost none from changes in social class distribution. Estimates for 1979-1986 showed that the trend towards increased height in five-to eleven-year-old children has now ceased.
利用参与1972年、1979年和1986年全国健康与成长研究的学校数据，估算了近期小学生身高的长期趋势。1972年至1979年，英格兰和苏格兰男孩女孩身高趋势的约50%可归因于家庭规模的变化，父母身高增加和出生体重也有一定贡献，但社会阶层分布变化几乎没有影响。1979年至1986年的估算表明，5至11岁儿童身高增长的趋势现已停止。
