The interaction between spatio-temporal factors and genetics factors on development of body''s stature
时空环境和遗传因素对人体身长的影响

This paper systematically discusses the impacting factors on human height development from fetus to adult and the future trend. The results show that development of body's height is progressing according to certain time series, and it is the function of time. The stature of fetus increases with the month age, which has no obvious difference in various regions and from various mother's bodies.However, the heights of newborn babies have no clear difference in different regions and sex, and there are statistical differences between city and countryside. The clear difference of body's stature between city and suburb appears from infancy to preschool period,and this kind of difference will last to adult period. These indicate that spatial environmental factors and socio-economic factors are mainly factors affecting body's stature after newborn period. The impact of spatial environment on body's stature is an extensively diverse factor which has many meanings and can be controlled, which includes the effects of natural environment and social surrounding. With the development of socio-economy, there is increasing effect of social environment on body's height and weight, which brings a series of social medical and public health problems. It has theoretical and practical importance on development of human physique (including body's stature and weight) to study the relation between spatial environmental factors and body's stature.
