What is the live expectancy for people under 5 feet tall?

On average, do short people have shorter lives than tall people? I have searched for this information and havent had any luck finding any information. With other mammals, the larger species lives longer. Example, an elephant lives longer than a mouse. The heart beats faster per minute in the mouse compared to an elephant.

well in school we learned about 85-90 years
Reply:But a big elephant would not necessarily outlive a smaller elephant of the same species, nor would a mouse's size indicate if it would live loger or not as long as another of its species.





Height (except when related to genetic disease) does not determine a human's life expectancy either.
Reply:Contact a company that sells life insurance (the home office, not an agent). They will probably tell you that it makes no difference. Comparing different species is not going to give you useful information about differences within a species.
