Relationship between axial length of the emmetropic eye and the age, body height, and body weight of schoolchildren
Article Abstract:
A report assesses the relationship of axial length of emmetropic eyes to age, height, and weight in 1,600 Croatian schoolchildren. Among many other findings, one of them revealed that axial length of both eyes increases with age, height and weight but shows a closer correlation to height and weight than to age.

Center of body mass and the evolution of female body shape
Article Abstract:
Research suggests a relationship between typical female body shape and the center of body mass relative to height supports the hypothesis that biomechanical selection pressure may have had a significant role in shaping human women's morphology. This implies sexual dimorphism depends on sexual selection.

Heritability of body height and educational attainment in an international context: comparison of adult twins in Minnesota and Finland
Article Abstract:
The effect of genetic and environmental factors on the association between self-reported height and education in Minnesota and Finland are studied. The data included 1598 twin pairs in Minnesota and 5454 twin pairs in Finland born between 1936 and 1955.
