I've heard that a person's height can indicate how long they will live. Is this true?

It is true that people who are tall tend to live longer than people who are short, but there are many other factors that contribute to an individual’s lifespan as well. For example, people who smoke cigarettes have shorter lives on average than those who don't smoke, and people who drink alcohol have shorter lives on average than those who don't drink. So it would be wrong to say that being tall alone causes someone to live longer or shorter.
