摘要

The relationship between height and intelligence has longnbeen subject to investigation [1–5]. Life-long levels for bothnheight and intelligence emerge during childhood development.nAlthough both height and IQ are highly heritablenwith demonstrable genetic associations [6, 7], distinct environmentalncontributions are also evident [8, 9]. Early studiesnconsidered both height and IQ to be outcomes of social disadvantagenin [10]; however, the relationship between heightnand IQ in childhood is not fully explained by shared effectsnof social class or putative in utero programming [11]. Heightnin middle age predicts cognitive performance in old agen[12] when not controlled for the direct influence of childhoodnIQ on later life cognition [13]. Hitherto, relationshipsnbetween height and intelligence have focussed on height asna developmental outcome. However, with the advent ofnmass population ageing, a new cause of changes in heightnbecomes of increasing importance: changes occurring secondarynto degenerative diseases of old age [14]. There is anpaucity of evidence on factors influencing change in heightnin old age [15, 16], and relationships to intelligence fallnunder the emerging discipline of cognitive epidemiologyn[17, 18] including, as noted above, height in middle age [5].
