The following pages provide additional material for our paper “Height, Health and Cognitive Function at Older Ages,” forthcoming in American Economic Review Papers and Proceedings, May 2008. In our discussion of Table 1 in Section II of the paper, we mention that the association between height and our measures of wellbeing hold throughout the distribution of height for both men and women. Here we present fan regression results for our measures of well being, regressed against heights for men and women separately, from the 5th to the 95th percentiles of the height distributions for non-Hispanic white adults ages 50 and above in the HRS in waves 3 to 7.
