What’s the height when you die? – Investigation of shock that overturns everything you believe in!

May be missing some points in height, but in everything that has to do with the life expectancy term life for short men looks like that…
outweigh! According to a survey of 8,000 men, those who lose in height they lived longer compared to the tallest “opponents”.
In fact, those who had a height of 1,57 had the highest index of life.
American scientists studied the relationship between short stature and the gene associated with longevity.
A protective form of the gene (FOXO3), leads to smaller body size during the development of the individual, but is likely to mean… an increase in the average life.
The shorter men were more likely to have lower levels of insulin in their blood and are less likely to develop cancer in their life.
The results of the study of researchers of the university of Hawaii published in Plos One.
“We split the men into two groups: those who had a height of 1,57 and under and to those who had a height of 1,62 and over. As tall, so less lived,” said professor Bradley Willcox on the MailOnline.
The researchers studied the data of 8,000 Americans with ancestors of japanese descent, who were born between 1900 and 1919.
