Taller people have longer life expectancy than shorter people.

Recorded sources

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

Is it true that taller people have longer life expectancy than shorter people?

No. A peer-reviewed review reports that shorter people appear to have longer average lifespans, with a negative correlation between height and longevity across millions of deaths; a further article likewise reports shorter populations living longer. The evidence points against the claim rather than supporting it.
