A member asked:
Will my height affect my life span? please help me docs!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Height and life span: Some data that tall people live longer. I would look at your detailed family age of death and height and go back as far as you can. But effect is very small. And there is no study making people taller or shorter to see if it affects their life span. Worry about other things.
