The effect of coeliac disease on height in boys The graph shows two lines - one for "Normal boy" and the other for "Height of coeliac". Both lines show a negative correlation, meaning as age increases, height decreases. However, the normal boy line is higher indicating that they are taller. The coeliac line is lower. This means that coeliac disease can affect height, and that boys with coeliac disease may be shorter. However, it's important to note that this is just one graph and it's not possible to draw definite conclusions from it. More research is needed to understand the relationship between coeliac disease and height. This graph might highlight that the children with coeliac disease are not growing as well as normal boys.
