Short people who live longer

Short? You Just Might Live Longer
You may get laughed at by some people, but it's also possible you'll live longer. Am I the only one here who wants to be 5 feet tall?

 

[Danielle]

I'm 5'3..

 

[ledboots]

I used to be 5'2 but my liar of a doctor tells me I am now 5'1... [emoji33]

 

[Danielle]

people shrink, right?

 

[rainforests1]

There was one exception, but most of the other short people I've met seem happier than the norm.

I did. 2 inches since High School. I'm now 5'2".

We must go to the same doctor!

I don't know what the fuss is...I find short people to be absolutely adorable/lovable, especially the ones on VV!

I was always just under 5' 5"... 5' 4 3/4"...so far I've lost 1/2 an inch, lol.

I'm 5'2 and I don't like being short. Other people have to get things off the high shelf for me.

My dad is in his 80's and he's shrunk quite a few inches. He was over 6 feet tall but is under that now and has had to hem all of his pants.

 

[Mischief]

I've shrunk about 1 1/2" since high school.

RF1, since you want a much smaller human population, it's inconsistent for you to want to be shorter to live longer.

I used to be 5'6 but at my last check up at my doctor they told me I lost almost half an inch.

 

[hungryraccoon]

I'm 5ft & half an inch.

So I'm going to shrink even smaller?!

 

[Mischief]

I'm 5ft & half an inch.

Yeah, gravity has an effect over a lifetime.

Go into space, antigravity lets you grow temporarily. Also bed rest. My husband grew 2 inches when he had a head injury and was bedbound for months. He quickly shrank back to 6'2 though.

How strange!

Well, this is encouraging news. Being a grown *** man and most 10 and 11 year-old girls being taller than I isn't entirely bad after all.

 

[Pirate]

I'm 5"0' and don't know any other way so I'm fine with it - living longer is a nice bonus!

 

[Mikkel]

I'm 5''4'. So I guess I get old then!

 

[Amy SF]

I'm 5 feet and about a quarter of an inch. So I look forward to outliving the tall freaks who are constantly asked "How's the air up there?"

A friend of mine is 6'9" tall and when people asked him that in college, he would spit on the ground and say "It's raining." Lol
