Q: On the street, when you see two equally fit guys, around the same age and weight, do you feel the shorter or the taller will live longer?

Intuitively I feel the taller guy will live longer because his shape is more slim, which protects him from a wide array of health hazards.

• BMI deeper green
• In an accidental fall, the lighter person will suffer lower impact and sustain lighter injury. Of course strength of the joints and muscles are more important but here I assume the two guys are equally fit.
• For example, to be able to run 3 miles, the bulky guy needs to put in more effort. The slim guy may not need any practice.
• For example, to hit 20 chin-up, the bulky guy needs a lot of effort
• For example, in stair-climbing, the slimmer person has a clear advantage
