Subanalysis of three longitudinal studies showed a stronger effect: the or for underweight was 2.2 (95% CI: 1.5-3.2) and for stunting, 2.0 (95% CI: 1.0-3.9).
Researchers say that rising global temperatures and changes in weather patterns have knock-on effects which are already stunting the growth of a wide range of species, the Daily Telegraph reported.
They divided the subjects into four groups -- light, moderate and heavy drinkers and abstainers -- and did a 20-year follow-up analysis from the study baseline.
