我们分析了19世纪巴伐利亚州被监禁的男女的身高。随着时间的推移，身高与性别之间没有显著的相关性。在产奶和产土豆的地区，男人和女人都长高了。19世纪40年代马铃薯危机、结核病流行和私生子显著降低了女性的身高，但这些都没有显著影响男性的身高。幼儿期的经济因素对女孩身高的系统性影响大于男孩，对两性来说都比疾病因素更重要。1岁时的状况对成人身高的影响大于以后几年的状况。(C) 2000年学术出版社。
We analyze heights of men and women who were imprisoned in 19th-century Bavaria. Heights were not significantly correlated by sex over time. Both men and women grew taller in milk- and potato-producing regions. Women's heights were significantly reduced by the 1840s potato crisis, tuberculosis prevalence, and illegitimate birth, none of which significantly affected men's heights. Economic factors in early childhood had more systematic influence on girls' than boys' heights and were more important than disease measures for both sexes. Conditions in the Ist year of life had greater effects on adult height than those in later years. (C) 2000 Academic Press.
