Where did this come from about tall big people dieing sooner?

Question:

all my people for generations have been large tall people. and most live into there nintys. why do I keep hearing that large tall people die earlyer then average people.

Answers:
You are hearing that from a bunch of jealous little short stumpy people, you know, like elves.

There are exceptions to all rules of human behavior. But, if you look at actuarial tables, tall people, like basketball players (in excess of seven feet) rarely live into their 60s. There are always exceptions; but as a group, tall people live shorter lives because tallness places additional stresses on the cardio-vascular system.
