  abstract     = {{Using three independent archival sources, we previously documented substantial declines in stunting and wasting in Portugal during the mid-twentieth century. This note revisits the original evidence, clarifies the descriptive scope of our analysis, and situates the observed anthropo-metric changes within the broader evolution of public health, nutrition, and social policy in Portugal. We show that the timing and magnitude of the declines are robust to the alternative data restrictions and aggregation choices examined here, and that the documented improve-ments are consistent with contemporaneous expansions in health infrastructure and access documented in the historical record.}},
