Abstract

The author questions some of the assumptions that have been made concerning the relationships among height nutrition and mortality using data on 3498 individuals in Britain gathered by the physician John Beddoe around 1865. He concludes that body weight as well as height needs to be taken into consideration in the study of such relationships. (ANNOTATION)
