Abstract

Secular changes in growth have occurred in almost all industrialized countries during the last century. Almost all of the secular increase seen in adult height occurs during childhood. These changes can be considered to be indicators of the changes in the nutritional, hygienic and health status of a population. The secular trend in adult height has slowed down since the second world war, but is still continuing in most industrialized countries.
