Abstract

Growth patterns and final body height are influenced by genetic and socio-environmental factors. A major impact of education on growth has been documented. Body height increases with an increasing educational level.The present study focuses on the association patterns between body height and educational level among 1,734,569 Austrian male conscripts aged 17 to <19 born between 1961 and 2002. Four levels of education were classified to examine their association with body height. Over 42 years, the percentage of conscripts at the lowest educational level decreased dramatically from 37.5% to 1.7%. All educational classes showed increasing body heights over time. Despite a marked improvement in the living standard, body heights at different educational levels did not converge. In Austria, educational and social advancement was associated with higher population body heights. Young men at the lowest educational level, however, remain shorter and their body height gap to the highest educational level has widened.

摘要

生长模式和最终身高受遗传和社会环境因素的影响。有大量文献证明教育对生长有重大影响。身高随着教育水平的提高而增加。本研究关注的是 1961 年至 2002 年期间出生的 1734569 名 17 岁至<19 岁的奥地利男性应征者中身高与教育水平之间的关联模式。将教育水平分为四个等级，以检查它们与身高的关系。在 42 年的时间里，受教育程度最低的应征者比例从 37.5%急剧下降到 1.7%。所有教育阶层的身高都随着时间的推移而增加。尽管生活水平显著提高，但不同教育程度的身高并没有趋同。在奥地利，教育和社会进步与较高的人口身高相关。然而，受教育程度最低的年轻男性仍然较矮，他们与最高教育程度的身高差距也在扩大。
