Geographical Distribution of Adolescent Body Height with Respect to Effective Day Length in Japan: An Ecological Analysis
The height of Japanese youth raised in the northern region tends to be greater than that of youth raised in the southern region; therefore, a geographical gradient in youth body height exists. Although this gradient has existed for about 100 years, the reasons for it remain unclear. Consideration of...
