Day length may make geographical difference in body size and proportions: An ecological analysis of Japanese children and adolescents
There is a north-south gradient in the body heights of Japanese children. A hypothesis had previously been proposed that differences in thyroid hormone activity induced by geographical differences in effective day length (duration of photoperiod exceeding a predetermined light intensity) might cause...
