Do short people live longer than taller or average size people?

In general it is said that taller people are said to live longer because, in other countries shorter people have malnutrition. and thats why they dont grow and die sooner, so I dont think in the US or Europe that there is much difference.

Why should short people live longer than tall people? It's our DNA that helps the length of time we live. How well we take care of ourselves, etc. Anybody at any height can be in an accident.

I don't think height has anything to do with longevity. My Grand Dad was 6'5 and my Grand Mom was 5'3 and they both lived to age 89. He was two years older than she was.
They worked very hard and kept going till the last year or so. I think activity aids in good health.

I don't think it matters whether you are short or tall. As long as you eat healthy and exercise daily.
