چکیده :
We present evidence on the 19th-century trend in the height of male US passport
applicants. These men represent a much wealthier segment of contemporary society than
found in most stature samples previously analyzed. The height trend among the wealthy is
much more robust in comparison to the average population that experienced a decline in
stature. The resulting increase in the ‘height gap’—by roughly 1 in. between cohorts born
around 1820 and 1860—is in congruence with evidence on rising wealth inequality and the
notion of dietary change in antebellum America
