Short people,studies have shown,are more likely to have a stroke(Öзç),suffer from high blood pressures and heart disease and be bullied in school.ª¥

Now,researchers report that short people—at least in the past—were also more likely to die at a younger age than their taller peers.ª¥

Their study,published in the Journal of Epidemiology(Á÷Ðв¡Ñ§)and Community Health,found that short bones have something to do with short life for more than 1,000 years.The conclusion was based on 490 sets of adult skeletal(¹Ç¼ÜµÄ)remains from an archaeological site in northeastern England,dating from the 9th century to about 1850.ª¥

About 55% of men and 73% of women died before the age of 45,and 39% of men and 56% of women died before age 30.The risk of death before age 30 declined as bone length increased.ª¥

“This study provides evidence from an archaeological sample that long bone length is connected with age at death-those with smaller bones tend to die younger,” according to Dr.D.J.Gunnell of the university of Bristol

in the UK and colleagues.ª¥

While it is not clear why short stature(Éí²Ä)might be linked to earlier death,the researchers point out that height is ¡¼ZZ(Z¡½an indicator¡¼ZZ)¡½ of childhood nutrition,which may have a longª²lasting effect on health.

“Mechanism(ÉíÌå½á¹¹)for heightª²mortality(ËÀÍö)associations in the past may differ from those today,for example,short stature may have increased the risk of death in childbirth and this may explain the higher risk of premature(δ³ÉÊìµÄ)mortality in women,” Gunnell and colleagues write.ª¥

“However,short bones,it would appear,have always been a marker of a short life,” the authors conclude.ª¤
