Background: We investigated causal effect of completed growth, measured by adult height,
on coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and cardiovascular traits, using instrumental …

A number of studies have reported an inverse relationship between height and
cardiovascular disease (CVD). Most of these studies have involved a relatively small …

Background and Purpose—There is disagreement whether shorter persons suffer increased
rates of coronary heart disease (CHD) or stroke. Potential mechanisms for such associations …

Background Adult height is associated with risk of several diseases, but the breadth of such
associations and whether these associations are primary or due to confounding are unclear …

An inverse relation between adult height and risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) has been
reported in many studies, but the association between adult height and stroke remains …

Background The extent to which adult height, a biomarker of the interplay of genetic
endowment and early-life experiences, is related to risk of chronic diseases in adulthood is …

Few studies have associated height with cardiovascular diseases other than myocardial
infarction. We conducted a population-based 36-year cohort study of 12,859 men born in …

Background The association between adult height and cardiovascular (CV) events and
mortality has been suggested, albeit inconsistently. We sought to discover the …

Aims The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between short stature and
coronary heart disease (CHD) morbidity and mortality. Methods and results We performed a …

BACKGROUND Several studies have observed an inverse association between height and
risk for coronary disease, but it is unclear whether other traditional coronary disease risk …
