Tall people have shorter life expectancies than shorter people.

INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
3 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 Tall people have shorter life expectancies than shorter people?

Unclear. Three reference works partially support the claim: one encyclopedia entry states shorter females have longer life expectancy than taller males, and two others report studies finding taller people or taller males with higher mortality. None of these items settles the general claim across populations, and one of them also notes studies finding no height-mortality association.
