The findings of this study are supported by about 70 studies showing that shorter people live longer. Some key facts from a few of these studies include:

1.A 2017 study (Lemez) of basketball players showed that the shorter players lived longer

2.A 2016 study (Chmielewski) of 800,000 deceased Polish men and women showed the shorter lived longer

3.A 2009 study (Mueller and Mazur) of about 8000 West Point graduates who retired showed shorter lived longer after 60 years of age.

4.Studies of centenarians generally show that they tend to be very short and lean

5.Animal studies show that smaller individuals within a species live longer

6.A recent study (2017) identified 36 biological factors that favor greater longevity in smaller individuals

A collection of articles, book chapters and books showing shorter or smaller individuals live longer are given in website: www.humanbodysize.com
