TALL
PEOPLE
MAY HAVE
A
SHORTER LIFE
SPAN
THAN
SHORTER
ONES!
ln the
US, amongst 750
dead
males,
the
age at
death
of
those shorter
than
1.73 metres was 9-10 years
older
than
those
above.
ln China, amongst
100 people aged over 90, the average
height was only
1.5
and
'l
.4
metres
respectively
for
males and
females;
in
Germany,
the
average height
of
165
males over the age
of
100
years was
1
.67
and
for
410 females,
1
.57 metres.
Physiologically, excessive tallness may
have
problems:
e.9., their
surface
areas
(a parameter reckoned
from
the
height and weight) are larger and more
lood
intake
is
required;
their
internal
organs
are
relatively smaller
and
function,
less
optimal; their nervous and
hormone control within
the
body are
more difiicult to achieve promptly;
their
distribution of nutrients,
oxygen and
their clearing
of
waste products
are
also
sub-optimal;
the heart
ha6
to
work
harder
to
pump
lhe
blood to
a greater
height; their weight of the body loading
from the taller body (like that of
a
tall
building)
on
lhe
bones
and
muscles
would definitely be
heavier.
lt seems
thatthe
ideal
height
is
1.65-1.68 metres.
