It seems to me really tall people have more musculoskeletal problems as they age. More leverage, often thinner bones, etc. Like Brooke Shields breaking her femur recently and she’s not even old...

I did feel strange there. In the easy chair my legs stuck straight out I like a little kid. But I came to appreciate how many things are not friendly to high people. As to bones, I think some conditions such as super fast growth and longer bones can suffer greater stress in accidents and falls but I think nutrition plays a greater role.
