高个子的孩子往往有更好的认知能力，身高和认知之间的关系被认为是高工资劳动力市场溢价的解释。高度认知协会可能是由于社会因素，有利于较高的个人或由“共同因素”，与高度和认知相关的驱动。事实上，现在有证据表明身高和认知之间存在遗传相关性，这为这种担忧提供了具体证据。我们通过估计双胞胎早期发展研究中儿童身高和认知之间的关联来研究遗传因素是否可以解释这种关系。我们发现，即使在控制了双胞胎共有的遗传和环境因素之后，身高也与更好的认知能力有关。异卵双胞胎对中身高和认知之间的关联对于控制身高和认知的个体遗传预测因素也很强。这些结果表明，遗传因素并不是驱动身高和认知之间关系的唯一原因。
Taller children tend to have better cognitive ability, and the relationship between height and cognition has been proposed as an explanation for the height-wage labor market premium. Height-cognition associations may arise due to social factors that favor taller individuals or be driven by “common factors” that are correlated with height and cognition. Indeed, there is now evidence of a genetic correlation between height and cognition that provides specific evidence for this concern. We examine whether genetic factors explain the relationship by estimating associations between childhood height and cognition in the Twins Early Development Study. We find that height is associated with better cognition even after controlling for genetic and environmental factors shared by twins. The association between height and cognition within fraternal twin pairs is also robust to controlling for individual genetic predictors of height and cognition. These results suggest that genetic factors are not solely responsible for driving the relationship between height and cognition.
