Yes, diets low in proteins and certain vitamins/minerals (calcium, vitamins A and D) are associated with poorer physical development. This is why milk is fortified with A and D and we've bred rice (golden rice) that's high in these nutrients. That said nutrition probably only means the difference between 6' and 6'0.5", assuming you're not malnourished.
