How many "old" tall people you know?

[Orbital-Fetus]

for real, i can't remember seeing an senior person taller than me.
i'm an average height man, not short or tall, just meh.

where are all of these tall seniors hiding and what are they planning?

 

[Neo. The Only. The One.]

not many



I mean we could count Bill Russell but none of us know him.


Good thread, OP.

The body does shrink a bit with age, bone & spine health deteriorate etc. But thats a good point. Above average size is sometimes a trade-off with shorter life expectancy

Off top, I can think of one. He's a wino and I slide him some change sometimes at the corner store.

According to researchers, an additional inch increase in height generated a 2.2 percent higher risk of death from all causes for men, and a 2.5 percent higher risk of death from all causes for women

One of the tallest old people I remember was my great uncle and he was like 6’4 I believe. I had to be like 10 when he passed

So 6”2+ nikkas are 8.8 percent more likely to die compared to a 5”10 King.
