Tom’s book with Bartke and Rollo, Human Body Size and the Laws of Scaling, was described as “A Herculean” task accomplished” in a review by professor S. Marson in a publication by the Cambridge University Press. See book reviews for more information.
This book is written for the general reader of scientific books. It provides an overview of how growth and height are related to nutrition, physical performance, health, intelligence, pollution, resource consumption and the environment. It also covers the economic benefits of avoiding increased body size.
Tom has appeared in “Who’s Who in America” for 15 years!
“Who’s Who in America” endeavors to profile the leaders of American society; those men and women who are influencing their nation’s development.
“These findings support an adverse effect of relative “over-nutriton” in infancy on long-term cardiovascular disease risk……and do not support the promotion of faster weight gain in infants born small for gestational age.”

Wilhelmsen and colleagues tracked 67-year old men to 90 years of age and found that men who were shorter at 67 years tended to have better survival than taller men. See page 8 in Wilhelmsen L, Svardsudd K, Eriksson H, et al. Factors associated with reaching 90 years of age: a study of men born in 1913 in Gothenburg, Sweden. J Intern Med 2011; 269:441-451.

Tom’s review of research findings on the health risks related to higher birth weight, rapid growth, early maturation and taller stature was recently published in the Women’s Health Bulletin. See: Samaras TT. Health risks of higher birth weight, rapid growth, early maturation and taller height. Women’s Health Bulletin. 2015 July; 2(3):e26805
An Italian Study Confirms Tom’s findings
Important findings from Sardinia show that shorter people live longer. The new study, authored by Salaris, Poulain and Samaras was recently published by the journal Biodemography and Social Biology.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is responsible for 126,000 deaths per year. A large Harvard study found that good nutrition can help you avoid this disease. For example, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fish promote healthy lungs and reduce the risk. In contrast, refined grains, red meat, and cured meats increase the risk.
