Based on a representative sample of Stockholm school-children born in 1943, the association between the height at 10 years of age and the selection to higher and lower education at the same age was examined for upper and lower social groups defined by the father's occupational status. The hypothesis that there is a link between height and change of social position even among children was examined. Upwardly mobile boys (lower class boys selected for higher education) were taller than those staying in their social position. Downwardly mobile boys (higher class boys selected only for elementary education) were smaller than those remaining in their social position. The same tendency was found for girls--although not statistically significant.
基于对1943年出生的斯德哥尔摩学童的代表性样本，按照父亲的职业地位界定的社会阶层高低，研究了10岁时的身高与同一年龄段接受高等教育或低等教育选择之间的关联。研究了即使在儿童中身高与社会地位变化之间存在联系的假设。社会地位上升的男孩（来自下层社会的男孩被选拔接受高等教育）比那些社会地位不变的男孩更高。社会地位下降的男孩（来自上层社会的男孩只接受初等教育）比那些社会地位不变的男孩更矮。女孩也呈现出相同的趋势——尽管在统计学上不显著。
