Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Maternal smoking during pregnancy is associated with intrauterine growth restriction and low birth weight, which can both lead to short height in children. Somnambulism (sleepwalking) and XYY syndrome are not associated with short height. In fact, individuals with XYY syndrome often have above-average height. While obesity and excessive weight gain in childhood can have negative health consequences, they are not necessarily associated with short height.
