In many South Asian communities, the majority of women are married during adolescence and reproduce before 20 years. Early reproduction may adversely affect maternal nutrition and linear growth, however whether early marriage has similar effects is unknown. Shorter women might also be preferentially chosen for earlier marriage. We hypothesized that early marriage and early pregnancy may each be associated with women's shorter height, independent of any selection effects.

尼泊尔农村低地妇女的结婚和初婚年龄及其身高的独立协会

在许多南亚社区，大多数妇女在青春期结婚，并在20岁之前生育。早产可能会对孕产妇的营养和线性生长产生不利影响，但是早婚是否具有类似作用尚不清楚。较矮小的女人也可以优先选择早婚。我们假设早婚和早孕都可能与女性身高矮小有关，而与选择效应无关。
