While short stature due to malnutrition or illness is undesirable, study suggests that feeding children for maximum growth and physical development may not add to and may indeed be harmful to their long-term health and longevity.
Men of height 175.3 cm or less lived an average of 4.95 years longer than those of height over 175.3 cm, while men of height 170.2 cm or less lived 7.46 years longer than those of at least 182.9 cm.
An analysis by weight difference revealed a 7.72-year greater longevity for men of weight 63.6 kg or less compared with those of 90.9 kg or more. – Tiny Fox Lab
