Stunting, or linear growth retardation, has been documented in up to half of all children in rural indigenous populations of South America. Stunting is well understood as a signal of adverse conditions during growth, and has been associated with developmentally induced modifications to body composition, including body fat and muscularity, that stem from early growth restriction. This article examines the relation between short stature and three anthropometric indicators of body composition during childhood and adolescence among a rural, indigenous population of forager‐horticulturalists. Anthropometric data were collected annually from 483 Tsimane' youth, ages 2–10 years, in 13 communities in the Beni region of Bolivia for 6 consecutive years (2002–2007). Baseline height‐for‐age was used to indicate stunting (HAZ
