本文介绍了欧洲共同体家庭小组（ECHP）在10个欧洲国家1950年至1980年之间出生的队列成人身高演变的新证据，该小组收集了来自奥地利、比利时、丹麦、芬兰、希腊、爱尔兰、意大利、葡萄牙、西班牙和瑞典的身高数据。我们的研究结果显示，所有国家的成年人身高都在逐渐增加。然而，南欧国家（希腊、意大利、葡萄牙和西班牙）的增长幅度大于北方国家（奥地利、比利时、丹麦、芬兰、爱尔兰和瑞典）。(c)2007 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
This paper presents new evidence on the evolution of adult height in 10 European countries for cohorts born between 1950 and 1980 using the European Community Household Panel (ECHP), which collects height data from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden. Our findings show a gradual increase in adult height across all countries. However, countries from Southern Europe (Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Spain) experienced greater gains in stature than those located in Northern Europe (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, and Sweden).
