Genetic contributions to the association between height and intelligence: Evidence from Dutch twin data from childhood to middle age.

A positive association between intelligence (IQ) and height has been reported previously. It is generally assumed that this association reflects the effect of childhood environment on IQ, but there is still little research supporting directly this hypothesis.
