Re: Anyone feel cheated by genetics? Thread Starter

Are you the shortest in your family or significantly shorter than your father? If so, do you look around at your family and wonder why you are so much shorter than the rest of them?

Re: A 5cm diff in height is associated with a 9% decrease in suicide risk Thread Starter

From PsychiatryOnline.org

ABSTRACT

Objective: Previous studies have found associations between poor fetal and infant growth and the risk of suicide. The authors’ goal was to investigate the association between height—a measure of childhood growth—and suicide risk.

Method: The authors conducted a record linkage study of the birth, conscription, mortality, family, and census register data of 1,299,177 Swedish men followed from age 18 to a maximum of age 49.

Results: There were 3,075 suicides over an average follow-up period of 15 years. There was a strong inverse association between height and suicide risk. In fully adjusted models, a 5-cm increase in height was associated with a 9% decrease in suicide risk.

Conclusions: The strong inverse association between height and suicide may signify the importance of childhood exposure in the etiology of adult mental disorder or reflect stigmatization or discrimination encountered by short men in their adult lives.

To which i can only agree is discriminating.

Not just "discriminating", but humiliating. Can you imagine if I spoke about Obama and then said "well, yeah, but he's a black guy". Come on.....
