50 years of controversy finally coming to an end. Your height matters if you want to live long and healthy. Gender doesn't matter either. Studies show that short adults are 1.5 times more likely to die from a heart attack, cardiovascular or heart disease. As heart disease claims short adults more likely, it may be because of the health of the people. Short healthy people are more likely to live than an obese tall person. Height is a factor in heart disease, but its not the only factor. Your height as a child could also be a factor in this startling discovery. Studies also show that kids that are born short are short as adults. Unhealthy people are just as perceptible to heart disease as normal short people.
