The paper traces the secular trend in stature in Poland in the interwar period. On the basis of individual measuring cards created by military authorities for Krosno and Sarny districts, the author states that the secular trend in stature that started in the mid-1860s continued between the two world wars with the velocity of at least 0.7 cm per decade, i.e. at a similar rate as in the second half of the 19th century. Although regional differences inside the Second Polish Republic were clearly visible, cohorts born during the Great War were able to make up the lost ground in their teens despite the hardships caused by the Great Depression of the 1930s.
本文追溯了两次世界大战之间波兰身高的长期趋势。基于军事当局为克罗斯诺和萨尔内地区创建的个人测量卡，作者指出，始于19世纪60年代中期的身高长期趋势在两次世界大战之间仍在继续，速度至少为每十年0.7厘米，即与19世纪下半叶的速度相似。尽管第二波兰共和国境内的地区差异明显可见，但一战期间出生的人群尽管经历了20世纪30年代大萧条带来的艰难困苦，仍能在十几岁时弥补失去的身高差距。
