This finding is consistent with other research that has found a positive correlation between height and coronary heart disease (Samaras, Mendall, Allebeck, Shapiro, Elsayed, Mori, Hameed and Gupta). Davenport studied about 1 million military recruits for WW I and found that taller recruits had more heart problems than shorter ones. WHO also reported that before 1900, coronary heart disease was rare in Europe and the US. Adults in 1900 were substantially shorter than they are today. Other studies have found taller people have higher atrial fibrillation, thromboembolism and pulmonary infarction. The Indian Heart Journal provides additional information on height and heart disease: Shorter height is related to lower cardiovascular disease risk--a narrative review.
