Abstract Summary
Study of 364,538 women across 54 low-to-middle-income countries reveals troubling height trends from 1994-2008. While overall height increased slightly with each birth year, 35 countries showed stagnation or decline, especially in Africa. Wealth gaps persist: richest women averaged 2cm taller than poorest.
