abstract: 'We studied the trends of height-for-age (HAZ) Z scores by socioeconomic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
status (SES) groups of Chilean boys and girls aged 5-18 born between
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1877 and 2001, by performing a meta-analysis of 53 studies reporting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
height-for-age sample data from which 1258 HAZ score datapoints were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
calculated using the 2000 reference growth charts for the US of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). We found stagnant mean
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and median HAZ scores of about -1.55 to -1.75 for the general
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
population, and -2.2 to -2.55 for lower SES groups up to cohorts born in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the 1940s. However, we found an upwards structural change in cohorts
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
born after the 1940s, a period in which HAZ scores grew at a pace of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
about 0.25 to 0.30 HAZ per decade. Since this change happened in a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
context of moderate Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, high and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
persistent income inequality, and stagnant wages of the working class,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we discuss the extent to which our findings are associated with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increase in public social spending and the implementation and expansion
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of a variety of social policies since the 1940s and early 1950s.</p>'
