Genetic and environmental influences on adult human height across birth cohorts from 1886 to 1994.

A decreasing trend in the proportion of variation due to unique environmental factors (E) across birth-year cohorts was observed only for the four earliest birth cohorts, and was more noticeable in Europe and in women.

In conclusion, although the genetic variance of height showed a slightly increasing trend with birth year, heritability estimates did not present any clear pattern of secular changes across birth-year cohorts from 1886 to 1994.

In women, although the total variance also started to increase from birth cohort 1940–1949, genetic variance showed an increasing trend from the earliest birth-year cohort.
