    Well, I am ok...
    Not really good research. There are a number of factors that put tall people at risk. Being tall historically was advantageous in order to protect oneself in battle. That is no longer the case. The taller the person' the greater the stress on the heart. Tall people and obese people have a greater risk of heart disease and complications. Tall people are more likely to get managerial jobs because the look authoritative, they will interact with more people. These alone will add to the risk factor.
