Today, the science correspondent of "The Guardian", Ian Sample, wrote that a "study reveals how having an older brother can make you shorter". He also claimed that "children with older brothers and sisters are at risk of impaired growth in early life (...) which reveals the extent to which children are affected by sibling rivalry and their position in a family".
This study also reveals an interesting fact which is the occurence of this growth risk not only in third world countries, but also in rich, western countries.
All my life my mother kept saying how important is eating healthy food and sleeping early in order to grow up in a good shape...well...it seems like that does not matter anymore. If you have more than one sibling, he will take half of your healthy development.
What about the only children who have a short stature? I want to be an only child...and grow, grow, grow!
