| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST xW6YR0xT. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objective-To investigate the relation between childhood height, its components-leg length and trunk length-and mortality in adulthood. Design-Cohort study based on the Carnegie (Boyd Orr) Survey of diet and health in pre-war Britain, 1937-9. Setting-The 14 centres in England and Scotland that participated in the Carnegie Survey and where children were examined. Scottish centres : Aberdeen, Dundee, West Wemyss, Coaltown of Wemyss, Hopeman, Methlick, Tarves, Barthol Chapel. English Centres : Liverpool, Yorkshire, Barrow in Furness, Wisbech, Fulham, and Bethnal Green. Subjects-2990 boys and girls aged between 2 years and 14 years 9 months when they were examined in 1937-9. These children were drawn from 1134 families who underwent a one week assessment of family diet and home circumstances. Of these, 2547 (85%) have been traced and flagged using the NHS Central Register. Main outcome measures-Age adjusted overall, coronary heart disease, and cancer mortality in men and women in relation to age and sex specific z scores for height, leg length, and trunk length. All analyses were adjusted for the possible confounding effects of childhood and adult socioeconomic circumstances and childhood diet. Results-Leg length was the component of childhood height most strongly associated with socioeconomic and dietary exposures. There was no significant relation between childhood height and overall mortality. (...) |
