Do shorter peoples in height live longer than the taller People?

I wish I could live longer since I'm really small :-) but its really tru that studies have shown smaller people living longer because their organs are not overworked.

I thought that was a very sweet discussion. Having said this, I have no clue at all! As far as my knowledge goes there isn't any proven fact. I guess, it's same irrespective of the height of the person, if not stature. A fat person seems to have low life span due to health factor but that justifiable. In case of height I think, it works the same.

Ha, ha ask me again the day before I die, LOL! I dont really know.I dont really think there are any viable statistics on that. I am only 5'2". Many of the men in my family were tall and lived to at least 70+ but I don't know what height had to do with it.

with all else being equal - the tall persons heart has to work much harder than the shorter person's heart. because it has to pump the blood that much further from top to bottom.

ya due to some medicated reasons

i think the shorter one.i guess they need less push of the heart than the taller one.

I don't think it would really make much difference mahesh - unless there were genetic disorders that made them very short or very tall and also caused other health problems. I do think though that statistics will prove that one or the other lives longer although I have no idea why. xxx

It seems it is true. Perhaps taller people run out energy sooner. So their lives will end earlier.
