In today's society, educational status is an important factor for social classification.

Therefore, the question appears, whether parental educational status measurably affects the growth of a child. If so, is this explainable by the nutritional factors? To test this hypothesis, seven different Indian data sets where reexamined using the St. Nicolas House Analysis.

The importance of early diagnosis, bone-healthy lifestyle and medication is required for remaining fracture free.

Several measurements representing fragments were measured on the tibiae of 99 male and 99 female black South Africans, and equations estimating tibial length from these measurements were derived. Correlation coefficients of each equation were significant, and all equations estimated tibial length with moderate to high accuracy.

While South Korea has commonly been credited as the world's fastest growing economy after World War II, multivariate research conducted on the height development of South Koreans remains insufficient, as previous studies were limited to descriptive analysis by exploring broad anthropometric trends. Pooling several waves of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (KNHANES), heights of men and women were first plotted by sex and birth decade. Heights of men and women increased from about 169 cm to 176 cm and 157 cm to 162 cm, respectively, over the second half of the twentieth century. Next, upon regressing height on basic social, economic, educational and demographic confounding variables contained in the datasets, individuals born in rural districts were found to be significantly shorter by 0.3 to 0.7 cm than their urban counterparts. Yet, residential dummies proxied by administrative provinces did not come out as consistent in the regressions. Expectedly, individuals with a low household income were significantly shorter (by 0.5 to 0.6 cm) than those in the high income group. Most strikingly, individuals with a high education level were 4 to 5 cm taller than those with low education (no or only elementary education). This suggests that educational status has been the most important factor influencing heights of South Koreans. The latter finding has not been given much discussion in the anthropometric literature, which has traditionally focused on gross-nutritional and income indicators as drivers of human growth.</p>","PeriodicalId":46008,"journal":{"name":"Anthropologischer Anzeiger","volume":"77 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2020-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37464951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
