Being short increases a person's chances of dying from dementia, new research has shown.Men under 5ft 6in in height were 50 per cent more likely to suffer death from Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia than those taller than 5ft 10in, scientists found.Women were less at risk, but those shorter than 5ft 1in were still 35 per cent more likely to have their lives ended by the disease than those taller than 5ft 5in. Scientists analysed findings from 18 population studies with more than 180,000 participants, comparing the risk of dying from dementia for the tallest and shortest men and women.They stressed there was no evidence that lack of height triggered the brain-deteriorating condition, the most common form of which is Alzheimer's.But height could be a marker of other factors that might influence dementia risk, even early in life.
