But they’re necessary if normal-sized people are to have reliable armrests.
I find this very interesting. I have never seen old TALL people. My father told me that tall people die younger and I have read a lot of medical info that supports that as well.
My husband’s family are all very, very short statured. Nice, short Italians. Longevity runs in the family on both of his sides too. His father’s father lived to be 100 and his mother’s father died in his 90s. The only relative who died before the late 80s was my mother-in-law’s mother who died in her twenties (back in 1928).
I guess I just don’t believe this one article.
Uh...is there a relative WEIGHT factor the article might have left out?? 5’2” and 250lbs might be just a little less healthy than 6’4” and 250, don’t ya think?
