=== Taller men are not healthier, especially at higher age ===
People often associate better qualities with taller men as a result of [[halo effect]]. There are indeed some correlations, e.g. IQ weakly correlates with body height. Presumably the optimum is in the middle. 10 cm more body height shortens lifespan by 5 years, leading to more joint wear, cardiovascular disease etc. So, taller is not better beyond some point (on average!).
