Can weight allter your height?


Question:
If you're really fit, would you be shorter? Or if you were bigger, would you be taller, or does height have nothing to do with weight?

Answers:
Weight has very little, if anything, to do with height. If someone is very obese, it is possible to be shorter because of compression of the spine and also the extra weight may not allow the person to stand up straight.
that is a dumb question
The only time your weight and your height are used together is when calculating your BMI, being large does not make you tall.
nope nothing to do with it ^^ i know very fit short people and very bulky tall and vis versa. its completely separate
I would say, indirectly.

People have a sort of 'potential' tallness that they can reach, built in to their genes. There are factors that can affect whether a person reaches this potential, and diet is one of those factors.

So not exactly weight-related, but more diet related!
