So the study was conducted in Japan. Japanese have different genes from Nigerians. That study might not even apply to the black people. New research is needed from black nation.

Believe this at your own peril. You better eat right, live a healthy lifestyle and leave the rest for God. (If you are a believer)

Ok. I don hear.
But how come tall people are always rich?
All the rich men on my street are all tall.
The probability that a tall man will be rich is very high..

You should talk about the possibility of short people having higher BMI, thereby increasing their chances of coming down with a myriad of terminal diseases.

Moreso, how did you manage to jettison the role of lifestyle, environment and genes in your analysis?

The compensation is that,
Tall people enjoy life more when they're young and short people enjoy life more when they're old. It's 50\50.

Kudos to one and only perfectionist- Baba God

This is balderdash! Hocus pocus and hoi polloi!
First, human physiology does not exist in a vacuum. Every organ, cell, tissue and system grows in response to the genetic buildup of the person.
Whether tall or short, if you engage in sedentary living, riotous clubbing and gluttonous endeavours, your end is predictable.
This is gaslighting and misinformation at its peak.
No one should take what is written seriously.

Interesting! But what about faith and destiny? To live long or otherwise a religion says and believes one is given certain time to live, which cannot be altered even by second. I believe there are many with that faith in this Platform.
Not sure if you think you are making sense. Places where people live longest are Japan Korea and Hong Kong They do not subscribe to that crap. They watch their , diets and exercise regularly.

Generally faith has nothing to do with it

We are living longer ALL OVER THE WORLD today than our ancestors did 400 years ago because of immunization, better nutrition and other technological advances even though Much of Africa still lags behind

Even in Nigeria poor people do not live long generally. They do not have clean water, good food and basic health care

Clean water and sanitation is key. Managing conditions like diabetes, and high blood pressure make a difference and that is why people in richer countries live longer
