Relationships of mean male height with the average annual total N (a), P (b) and N:P ratio (c) intake per person (kg y⁻¹) in the corresponding country and cohort. See the caption for Fig. 1 for the country abbreviations. Men born in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are identified by 6, 7 and 8 in the symbols, respectively. The countries with higher N and P intake from animal than vegetal products are indicated in red (also red arrow for the mean), and the countries with higher N and P intake from vegetal products are indicated in blue (also the arrow for the mean). Different letters on the axes indicate significant differences (P < 0.05). For detailed numerical values for each country and cohort see Table S2 (Supporting information).
