Shorter men live longer
According to a study on the height, weight, and age at death of 373 men, obtained from records at the Veterans Administration Medical Center, San Diego, CA, USA:
- Men of height 175.3 cm or less lived an average of 4.95 years longer than those of height over 175.3 cm.
- Men of height 170.2 cm or less lived 7.46 years longer than those of at least 182.9 cm.
It's science.

Found this study while looking for other things. To be honest, I didn't actually see this as logical at first, but the tallest person in the world, lived only to 22. And one of the most tall folks that ever lived, could barely walk past a threshold. I'm 1.89, so I guess I'll live quite a few years less than most of you brilliant but shorter f**kers our there :-)
