The average heights of adult men and women were 165 and 152 cm, respectively, with wide variation among states. Overall, there was a modest secular increase in height (0.50 cm per decade in men and 0.22 cm per decade in women), with a negative secular trend in some of the states. There were striking regional differences in the average heights and the secular trends in height. Similarly, higher socio-economic status was associated with greater height and a greater secular increase in height. Milk consumption had a positive association with height in men ( r = 0.69, p &lt; .001) and women ( r = 0.63, p &lt; .001) in various\/different states.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The secular increase in height has been modest in India in spite of impressive economic growth.
