(Seoul = Newsis) Intern Reporter Choi Yoon-seo = A study has shown that children who grow up in wealthy families are more likely to grow taller than those who do not.
According to the British Daily Mail on the 22nd, researchers from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, USA presented these research results at the American Heart Association conference recently held in Chicago, Illinois.
Researchers conducted a study on 13,000 Hispanic Americans and found that growing up in a wealthy family had a greater impact on height than other factors.
This is because people who grow up in wealthy families consume more nutritious food and are often exposed to social capital that promotes growth.
According to known research, 70-80% of a child’s height is determined by genetics and 20-30% by the environment. However, the researchers explain that among these 20-30% of environmental factors, the influence of parents’ financial wealth on children’s height is greater than what has been revealed through research.
In addition, it was found that tall height formed through a wealthy family environment was highly correlated with children’s better heart health and cognitive ability.
Meanwhile, the results of this study attracted attention after it was revealed that the children of celebrities, including British wildlife survival expert Bear Grylls and US President-elect Donald Trump, are also particularly tall.
In fact, President-elect Trump’s 18-year-old son, Barron, born in 2006 with his third wife, Melania, is about 201 cm tall.
