Question

Does getting nutrition at a young age affect growth?

Answer 1

A hundred years ago, when there wasn't much nutritional knowledge, babies and children were Vitamin D deficient, and as a result, women had contracted pelvises.

So, absolutely, yes, it does.

Answer 2

Yes. If you are specifically referring to height, then absolutely. Whole genetics is a major player, environment plays a part as well. Good or bad nutrition can be the difference between a few inches shorter or taller.
