the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that shorter people live longer on average than taller people?

Unclear. Several sources report a negative correlation between height and longevity, including a large Polish cohort study and reviews stating shorter people have longer average lifespans, but the effects are described as weak or small and the evidence is limited to particular populations and periods.
