Heights of Native-Born Whites During the Antebellum Period
利用内战征兵记录中的身高数据分析内战前美国本土白人的营养状况，发现不同职业、地区、城乡和出生队列的成年身高存在显著差异，并探讨其经济和人口学意义。
This paper uses data on height by age drawn from Civil War muster rolls to analyze the nutritional status of the native-born white population during the antebellum period. Preliminary regression results reveal significant differences in adult heights across occupations, regions, urban-rural and migrant status, and birth cohorts. The economic and demographic implications of these findings are also explored.
