We are talking about extreme malnutrition am I right? For example starving to death for most of childhood and prenatal growth like the dutch famine where many died from starvation am I right? Therefore having adequate nutrition from parents, you would be good right?

So if I was to get adequate nutrition living in a third world country and I lived good, I would reach full potential of height right?

Am I correct?

Are we talking about extreme starvation like famine and starving for most of childhood?

Also older people shrink and have worse posture and it depends as in your case they were very poor hence that happened. It seems to mostly take one generation from what I’ve seen and read.

This means that if you have adequate food then you are not malnourished like your parents were correct?

Yes that’s true but wouldn’t it have to still be starvation for a long period of childhood to cause them to be malnourished. Also what epigenetic’s are you talking about since if you also don’t grow up malnourished, then it wouldn’t cause you to not gain your genetic potential in height. Correct?

So I would conclude that unless there was extreme severe malnourishment in the population, the malnourished parents will not effect their children’s final height?
