Abstract

The anthropométric measures, and in particular the physical stature, are used as indicators of changes in the nutritional status and health of populations. The paper shows the utility and the problems of Spanish military records that tell us about changes in the welfare, by human height and weight, during the course of the last two centuries. Data suggest a strong correlation between health, wealth, income and height But the most interesting findings are related with the apparent relationship between human height cycles and economic and demographic cycles that are registered over the course of the twentieth century in Spain.
