520 $a This dissertation aims to contribute to our understanding of how human growth responds to rapid socioeconomic change as experienced in Taiwan in the past three decades. Information and insights from large cross-sectional samples collected since 1964 are combined with those from the serial growth records of over 1000 children born in 1976 to 1978. The primary goals of this research are: (1) to test the hypothesis that in Taiwan age specific near yearly changes in mean height and weight have been sensitive indicators of short-term environmental change; (2) to evaluate how a child's sex and familial circumstances, as indicated by the location and type of dwelling, parent's education, and number of siblings, influence statural growth variation; (3) to consider the role of adolescent growth variation as a contributor to population differences in adult stature; and (4) to consider longitudinal evidence of adolescent growth plasticity in response to environmental change.
520 $a Evidence from analyses of change in mean heights and weights suggests that children's growth in Taiwan has mirrored Taiwan's rapid socioeconomic expansion, interrupted by only two recessions. The strength of these correlations is related to the sex and age-related capacity to respond to shared environmental factors. Results from analyses of individual records show that girls have more siblings than boys. Growth when entering primary school was associated with sex, parental education, and housing. Interaction effects were found between sex and parental education, and housing type and number of siblings. Comparisons of longitudinal growth among Chinese and European females suggests that differences in adult stature are substantially related to differences in the amount of time available for preadolescent growth. Results of correlational, multiple regression, and cluster analyses of female longitudinal growth parameters support the view that rapid socioeconomic change in Taiwan influenced the relationship between the timing, velocity, and intensity of adolescent growth in stature. Study area, housing type, birth order, and growth status at primary school entry (as indicated by log transformed weight) were significant predictors of adolescent velocity increase and the amount of growth from take-off to peak.
