    This statement is valid. Finnish researchers have summarized 52 studies on height and heart health worldwide, with a total of more than 3 million people. Overall, the risk of coronary heart disease for short people (ie, men below 165 cm and women below 152 cm) is 1.5 times higher than that of tall people (men above 178 cm, women above 168 cm).
