Short people are threatened by a higher risk of dying from dementia than the taller, a longitudinal study has demonstrated.

The people who were shorter than the average height had a higher risk of dying from dementia than people who were taller.

Study of 181,800 people, during the 10 years follow-up showed a significant association between mortality rates and the height of men and women involved in dementia.

Researchers from the Alzheimer Scotland Dementia Research Centre at Edinburgh University analyzed data from 18 studies between 1994 and 2008.

Men who were 5 feet 9 inches or shorter had 24 percent increased risk of death from dementia than men who were 6 feet or taller.

Similar results also revealed that having a height of 5 feet 1 inch or 156 centimeters increased a woman’s risk of dying from dementia by 35 percent than a height of 5 feet 4 inches, 165 centimeters.

“We found shorter adult height was associated with an increased risk of subsequent dementia death and that this association was stronger in men,” said Tom Russ, who led the study.

Similar to the current study, several studies in the past have linked short height to low IQ, increased risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.

Previous studies suggested that feeling shorter makes people more susceptible to feelings of paranoia and inferiority as well as extreme mistrust.

An earlier research also unveiled that shorter people stand a greater risk of developing chronic lung disease than people with an average height or more.

Dementia is a syndrome related to the brain that leads to memory loss, difficulties in communicating, thinking, understanding, planning and performing daily routines.

Nearly 44 million people across the globe are estimated to be living with dementia and the number is expected to triple - 135 million - by 2050.

The medical condition is considered as an incurable and fatal degenerative disease.

I'm not buying this one...

To question is to value the ideal of truth more highly than the loyalties to nation, religion, race, or ideology.
