I'm 6'8" and knew this since I was young, not to mention cancer runs in my family, but I always noticed that I never saw many older men over 6'0, let alone 6'8". We're here for a good time, not a long time 👍🏽
MAYBE. I do not necessarily believe it is taller men who live shorter lives but bigger men.

170 cm is 5’7”, not 5’5” and 182 cm is 5’11 1/2” not 5’9”. I think when Brew did the calculations, he rounded down to 5.5 feet and 5.9 feet rather than converting to inches. Also 175 cm is 5’9”: not 5’6”. While 5’3 is 160 cm, 162 cm is 5’4”, 5’7 is 170 cm, not 175 cm. Basically every single time Brew calculated the conversion from cm to inches, he got the calculations wrong (I believe that all of these studies used the metric system for measuring height).
Thanks for pointing this out! I was confused why the measurements were not accurate. My height is about 5’9(175cm) and he mentioned that men who are 5’7 and above are at higher risks of getting cancer. Since 10cm means 10%, I have a 5% chance of getting cancer compared to my friends who are 5’7 or shorter
americans 😂
He's converting it wrong because 5.9 feet is different to 5"9
See that's why we never used the metric system. 'Murica!!!
One inch is equal to 2.54 cm. Not 2.5 cm. This is the main reason to make wrong calculations.
My grandpa's brothers had an 8" height difference. They both lived to 90 years old. In general, the shorter of the 2 was healthier overall throughout most of their lives.

Being taller and larger frame might have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat, but there are other scenarios where it is a clear disadvantage. I had the epiphany when traveling in India that smaller body sizes there were an evolutionary survival trait, to cope historically with food shortages and risk of starvation. A larger body size would need a greater amount of food to nourish and sustain it. So smaller body size is an advantage in trying to survive when food supply is limited.
Read up on any expedition where they ran out of food. The big guys always died first.
@@MrHarumakiSensei or any extinction event lol. Rip to the dinosaurs
It's not even neccessarily an advantage on hand-to-hand combat. I am 6'4 and when I tried martial arts, I actually struggled with opponents who are shorter, as they are more balanced and can generate a lot of power due to it. Even when I may be stronger than them in absolute numbers and have more range, I am easier to take down and generating strenght from the floor to my fist is harder
@@juannaym8488 pretty sure the guy was talking about in the far past when people came at each other with swords not a lot of people are dying and hand-to-hand combat these days but I would imagine the bigger you are the more likely you are to get it shot in a War zone just because you stick out more
Bengal suffered the maximum famines during the British era which is why most tall men died out and the next generation grew up short.
My great grandpa was 6’5 and lived to around 81 he passed 2 years ago on top of this he was a such good man who loved all of us with all of his heart’s content he loved to laugh and makes jokes about the little things and always had a smile on his face when we were in the room :)

160cm is ideal height for males and 150cm for females.
This is the average around me.
Anything taller is 170cm is unusually tall where they struggle to fit into public transport.
The benefits of being a 5’3” (160cm) man:
1) I’m guaranteed to fit in doorways
2) no one ever asks me to reach stuff for them
3) I don’t need much legroom
4) no one ever asks me “how’s the weather up there?”
5) apparently a longer life span

I’m tall. Don’t underestimate this post
This entire video is to cope with the fact ur short
Both the world longevity record holder (Jeanne Calment, age 122) and the American record holder (Sarah Knauss, age 119) were under 5 feet tall, so being very short (but not quite a dwarf) is definitely an advantage to living an extremely long life. Japan and parts of Italy are known for having large centenarian (age 100+) populations, and these people tend to be shorter than Americans on average. I'm a 5'8" (1.72m) American man, certainly below average height, yet I would imagine that most of the oldest men on record were shorter than me.
They weren't that short in their 20s and 30s.
Could it also contribute to tje reason why females live longer than males? I think so
5'8" is average though?
The people in Japan that live a long time live on an specific island and share many dietary similarities with the Mediterranean people. A fresh seafood and vegetable rich diet seems to be the biggest factor.

@@caseyclark5174 I was asymptomatic. Heart murmurs run in my family so during my yearly physical my doctor requested an EKG. They noticed an irregular waveform on it that indicated I had an extra electrical pathway between the two nodes in my heart. confirmation was done during a "Stress test" where they basically did an EKG while I ran on a treadmill. Though that was 20 years ago so the diagnosis process may have changed.

The heights you used for 8:05 have been converted wrong. 162cm is 63.8 inches, so 5’4” would be a more appropriate thing to have written. And 175cm is 68.9 inches, so 5’9” would’ve been more appropriate to use.
An inch is 2.54cm
Yeah and at 2:44 5’5” is 165cm not 170cm, and 5’9” is 175cm not 182cm

The one Google gives automatically is bugged for some unknown reason, that's why I always use other sites to convert stuff instead of the Google one
I'm 5'4 130
If you switch cm to feet directly, it doesn't give feet and inches, it gives feet to decimal points which people interpret wrongly since 5.9ft =/= 5'9". Whoever did the conversions was just a bit careless.
it... actually kind of makes sense if you think about dog breeds on size vs life expectancy (same species different body sizes), as that's a better comparison than comparing between large species (whale vs mouse). for people who don't know, larger dogs tend to have a 10ish year life expectancy while small dogs are expected to live to 15 and sometimes even 20.

I have often wondered about this. We can find so many such examples amongst our relatives and friends.
I think diet and lifestyle plays a large part of this as well. My grandparents and great grand parents, and so on, were over 6 ft tall. The only ones who died at a younger than 80 were the ones who smoked, drank heavily or had reticent lifestyles and poor diets. It wasn't uncommon for them to live into their 90's. I'd never heard of any members of my family reaching the 100 mark though.
Yup ok
Mmmk

This issue was integral to my masters thesis, so I really enjoyed the presentation. It's especially important to pick your population carefully for studies of height and longevity. Your need a homogeneous group. You wouldn't want to compare Mayans (generally shorter people) to Maasai (some of the tallest on the world). Also, you have to be careful with cross sectional data that lumps people from different generations. Conditions during childhood affect ultimate adult height, so people who lived through war, famine, or a high infectious disease environment during their growing years shouldn't be compared to people who grew up in relative luxury. The Korean studies should be good ones.
Coool 🙃🙃🙃
Spot on. To conduct a more reliable study, we need to rule out the confounding factors
Years ago I worked for Senior Citizens homes and I'd notice a lot of the oldest and still most mobile, energetic guys were these sort of lightweight boxer builds. Shorter leaner builds. We used the word 'Spry'. So, they weren't necessarily the oldest living men but they oldest who were active, sort of 'spring in their step' types bobbing around the place, chatting up the ladies.

My great grandfather was around 5ft(152.4cm) or 5.3ft(161cm) - he lived up to 94 yrs old while still walking and talking, his diet mostly consists of healthy grains, vegetables, and fish. He was never overweight nor obese and passed away in his sleep.
I'm sure anyone can live as long as my great grandfather - as long they live a healthy lifestyle and hopefully don't have any underlying health conditions.
From what I have read it seems like 90 years is pretty close to the limit of what diet and lifestyle can get you using current technology without a genetic advantage.

While there are certainly exceptions, I've definitely noticed that most of the very old people I've seen are short. This oddly also seems to apply to dogs. You don't see any 15 to 20 year old Great Danes but a lot of small breeds tend to get there
Old people are short because they've lost height.
@LTNetjak No, it's not bad posture. People actually shrink as they age, mainly because the cartillage between joints wears down. When it comes to shrinking especially the cartillage discs in the spine wearing down contributes to that
The bigger ones living short lives also applied to rabbits. I had three who were a mix of Flemish giant and French lop (both giant rabbits) and the average lifespan for those giants is only about 4-6 years, because rabbits' bodies are not build for that size and it especially causes problems with the joints

Can you tell me about his diet and workout routine? I will appreciate that
As you mentioned, being taller correlates with shorter lifespans. Cardiovascular diseases typically manifest in the late 40-50s onwards. So it is possible that taller people are simply dying at a faster "speed" than the progression of cardiac illnesses - i.e. if they lived much longer, they MIGHT have developed heart diseases at a much higher rate. Since living longer increases your risk of a cardiovascular disease, we cannot simply attribute the higher rates of CVD in shorter people to their being short. To really understand if it's actually being shorter that predisposes them, we need to conduct a study by controlling for the lifespans of the participants - we specifically select taller people who live as long as shorter ones, and check if they have lower rates of CVD. If they still do, CVD is really associated with height. If they don't, what you mentioned was simply an artifact.
Thank u! Bc experience doesn’t align with this information

As a 5'7 guy, I am happy to be the exact height of the global average.
🥴
Gang gang
Average gang
I'm 5'11 i'm kind of tall but not short either.
175cm is 5'9
I'm coming from a tall family where 6'16 is normal. None of the older generations ever made it past 75 years. I wouldn't say it was because of the size but because of alcoholism, cancer tragic accidents (not necessarily necessarily related to alcoholism)
As someone's who is 5'6 i feel rather grateful but my height really doesn't hinder me except when reaching high places
I'm 6'5" (about 195cm) and I'm hoping I'll live to at least 70. Generally speaking my family isn't really filled with above average height people. On my dad's side(Mexican heritage) him and 2 of his brothers were about 6", his other 2 brothers and sisters were all fairly short.
On my moms side(European, she's not entirely sure from where) they are all short or about average height so idk where it comes from. My 3 sisters are all above average height as well.
im 6'5 also, may both of us live a long life
Shoot that to 90+
I'm 6'6" so I hope we both live a long time.
I’m 5’4
You could say I got the SHORT end of the stick
Dutch? They are tall. My family is tall, had a 7' great great grandfather
I’ve never heard shorter people live longer, but as a short person I’m all in
Tall people get respect and do better in sports, a decent trade off
As a tall person, I'm sad
@@TheTornadoJr don't be, we look cool while dancing and girls prefer us more often
@@TheTornadoJr who wants to live king these days anyways?
Watch you get cardio disease
Andre wasn't 7'4, that's stage height. He was about 6'11. Still a giant though
Andre was also a huge drinker and ate a ton of food. I'm sure that didn't help much in his situation. He loved life and he sure lived it to the fullest. And he was fuller than most.
The sources that check average life expectancy of men per height could be skewed due to unrelated reasons:
Tall Basketball players could be dying more often due to over-exhausting effects that are possibly contributed to them, cause they are likely to play more often than their shorter counterparts
Military men could be dying more often because, well, warfare favors shorter men. Bigger men are bigger targets, require more nurishment, and are overall less fit for military equipment/environment (i.e. foxholes, LMGs, cramped vehicles)
That's what I was thinking.
Good points.
That and the fact that physical jobs (Ex: construction worker) favor tall men and such jobs are often dangerous
@@bmona7550 When I worked construction, there were lots of short men. Same in shipbuilding now -- I get called out to look at a problem and see near-Hobbits and massive hulks mixed pretty evenly.
I dunno about that. Contrary to popular opinion people do not shrink that much in old age. When you look around very few people are old and tall. Most are rather short. I do know tall old people, there are always exceptions. But just from looking around it appears short people could be healithier and live longer due to less strain on the body.
Correction for measurements at 2:36
5'5" = 165cm not -170cm-
5'6" = 167cm not -175cm-
5'9" = 175cm not -182cm-
And for 8:04:
5'3" = 160cm not -162cm-
5'7" = 170cm not -175cm-
I'm 5,6". No cancer in my family, some heart problems, but my grandparents lived to 94 and 96. My other grandparents are still alive at 79 and 84.
let's goooo!!!!! i love being tall!!!!!
Hi! I am very tall. I love Brew videos, but I'm disinclined to watch one that explains the hastening of my own mortality by the manifestation of my genetics over the course of the holidays. It's hard enough trying to stay cheerful as is. I will hopefully watch this sometime next month.
Lol Bull Russell is 90 Kareem is like 75~ just eat healthy-ish and you’ll be all right what’s good being short and living longer if you don’t watch what you eat and live to 65
I hope the new year brings you joy ✨
Don't worry, my man. I'm tall and all my relatives on the Serbian side of the family are tall. They all lived to be in their 90s. I think this video is bullocks. A lot of those basketball players are incredibly tall, like over 6'5" and many of them likely had undiagnosed Marfan syndrome. Just stay active, generally eat healthy and don't regularly overeat and especially don't become overweight or obese and you should be fine!
Yeah, i wouldnt call myself extremely tall but this video is kinda trying to scare me. Im 14 and 5.10 foot Almost 5.11
I mean, I guess I can pinch back on my 401K withholdings...
As a 5ft 4 adult, I approve this message
Good lock becoming sentinarian
I’m 4-7 and I’m still a minor
This makes me feel a lot better about my 5'7.
I’m 5’11 women, 27. My cousin is 15 and she’s already 6’2. They’re looking into hormonal blockers they could use to stop her growth. Length runs in our family. I’m not as lucky as many of the commenters here, don’t know many relatives who’ve lived past 70, but hey, who knows 🤷🏾♀️ They say the taller you are, the closer to god.
Julia Childs,the mother of televised cooking shows,was a really tall woman at 6'2'' (1.88) and lived for 92 years.Dorothy Ford was also 6'2'' and lived for 88 years.Veruschka one of the first models ever was 6'1''(1.85) when she was younger,today she is 83.Julie Newmar that played Catwoman in the 60's is 5'11''(1.80) and today she is 89.Vanessa Redgrave was also 5'11'' when she was younger and today she is an active actess at 85.Carmen Dell'Orefice 5'11''(1.80) has the longest model career in the history,today she is 91.Irene Jewel aka Ricki Covette was the world’s tallest dancer, she was 6ft 8 (203 cm) and lived for 91 years.
Your relatives should aim for shorter partners wether male or female.
My study of scientific literature on this subject suggested that growing slower is healthier, unless it is caused by severe stunting because of disease or famine. But having a bit less food can be a good thing.
as a tall person (by asian average), I'm little bit scared right now. Thanks brew!
I honestly agree because my great grandfather lived for 111 years and survived WWII. Today my great grandma is still alive at the age of 89 she is also left handed like me and my mom, when I was 13 my height was 4'11, shortie genes is a blessing. :D
Thanks for making this vedio
Surprised you didn't mention the correlation with animals as well. Larger breeds of dog, rabbit, etc will live much shorter lives than the smaller ones (great dane vs chihuahua for example), my personal assumption is that it's not how small the species itself is, it's the height difference within the same species that's the factor
Love your content, Brew!!!
Watching Brew everyday
I'm I missing something or what
because these measurements are wrong, for eg at 8:07 its said that 5'7 is 175 when its actually 5'9
just pointing out
I'm under tall
6:50 To be honest, me being in that situation would be awkward and sad, I don't mean that spending your last day eating cake and drinking soda [basically having a party] with your family on your last day is a bad thing, it's definitely a good thing as you can spend your last moments with your family, it's just that for me I'd be eating and crying knowing that my sibling, son, or realitive won't be staying with us any longer. May every person mentioned in this video rest in peace, as their lifes as a loveable person filled with opportunities and memories sadly got cut short....
*my great great great grandpa was 6'4 he lived till 161 until he passed.*
nice video
I agree with " knowledge is not understanding but I think finding the cause of happening something is understanding"
To the 1 person who’s reading this: *you’re nice and kind stay safe*
Thx
thanks ig
Thanks
Thank you :)
I love this 😄
My grandfather lived to 102 years old, and he was 6'1"
This was intresting
Never have I been so glad to be 5’1”, now to get on that heart health train!
Know a dude 5 foot 3 has heart problems
I'm 5'2 and I feel this
Also has problems getting married
@@jacobwright8485 Only in the west because there people are really superficial.
I had randy Newman's song 'short people' playing in my head all through this episode. Great episode, fantastic song.
Are we sure the cancer thing isn't because more cells/higher cell division rate just statistically increases the odds one cell will become cancerous through sheer numbers?
Robert Wadlow from my town.!!!👍😎
Maybe I missed it, but one of the things not mentioned or factored in is the average height of different ethnicities/races. The Korean population, for example, are shorter on average when compared to other populations. Further, there's other factors that get overlooked like genetic pre-disposition for longer life. Personal experience: people in my family are tall, and we also tend to live pretty long (usually between 85-95 years old).
They used the NBA as a study source, which is comprised of mostly African-American males, so the study was simply about mostly African-American males. This is the great problem with statistical evidence, we can't account for all the factors no matter how we try.
@@Zachary- and see, that makes sense considering the average life expectancy of African American males. Thanks.
I'm just here being 6'5 with no medical based reason or defect. Males in my family have just grown progressively taller from my great grand father at under 6'0 to me being the tallest member of the family and youngest at 23.
My grandad was 6’2 in his old age (probably around 6’4-6’5 in his prime) and he lived past 100. I’m pretty short so I definitely didn’t get my height genes from him lol
Every single manlet would give 5 years for 1 inch in a blink of an eye
