Inverse relation between height and cardiovascular mortality in men during 30-year follow-up.

T E Strandberg1.   

Abstract

Results from a socioeconomically homogenous population of middle-aged men demonstrate that body height predicts total, and especially cardiovascular, mortality over a 30-year follow-up, independent of traditional risk factors. The results suggest that every 5-cm increase in height is associated with decline of cardiovascular mortality risk by 18%.
