在维也纳，检索并分析了(A)1730年至1760年期间出生的军事学院青年、(B)1760年至1780年期间出生的孤儿院儿童和(C)1775年至1815年期间出生的军事寄宿学校儿童的身高记录。这是现存最早的一套测量一组个体身高的方法。身高在17世纪40年代末上升，17世纪70年代后下降。这一证据表明营养状况有升有降，这与18世纪欧洲农业状况的已知模式是一致的。最大增量年龄的变化支持了这些男孩营养状况长期变化的观点。哈布斯堡男孩的身高比同时代伦敦最穷的孩子还高，但比起十九世纪英国绅士和美国学员的身高，当然也比不上今天人口的身高。
Records in Vienna of the heights of (a) Military Academy youths born between 1730 and 1760, (b) orphanage children born between 1760 and 1780 and (c) military boarding-school children born between 1775 and 1815 have been retrieved and analysed. This constitutes the earliest extant set of measurements of the heights of a group of individuals. Stature was increasing in the late 1740s and decreasing after the 1770s. This evidence indicates a rise and subsequent fall in nutritional status and is consistent with the known pattern of European agricultural conditions in the eighteenth century. Shifts in the age of maximum increment support the notion of the secular changes in the nutritional status of these boys. The stature of the Habsburg boys was greater than the poorest boys of contemporary London but compared unfavourably with the height of the English gentry and American cadets of the nineteenth century and, of course, with the height of today's populations.
