    Area of Science:

    • Human growth and development
    • Anthropometry
    • Public health trends

    Context:

    • Secular trends in adult male height in Spain from 1910 to 1995.
    • Analysis of Spanish female maturation using menarcheal age.
    • Investigating the relationship between socioeconomic factors and physical growth.

    Purpose:

    • To present secular changes in Spanish male population growth.
    • To analyze the timing and rate of height increase in Spanish males.
    • To explore correlations between population growth, culture, income, and female maturation.

    Summary:

    • Adult male height in Spain increased significantly, particularly after 1965, with gains of 2-2.9 cm per decade.
    • Recent height increases have slowed, but the trend continues.
    • Female menarcheal age has advanced, occurring 0.3 years earlier than 15 years ago, indicating earlier maturation.

    Impact:

    • Highlights significant improvements in living standards and nutrition in Spain.
    • Provides data for public health planning and understanding population health dynamics.
    • Suggests a link between socioeconomic development and biological maturation rates.
