13 Jul New Study Suggests That Tall Men Are At Bigger Risk Of Aggressive Prostate Cancer 

If you’re like me, a man who is slightly below average in terms of height, then it’s easy to imagine that being tall is akin to some sort of gift from God. Sometimes it feels like if you’re born tall the genetic deck has already been stacked in your favour. Everywhere I turn, all I hear about is the fact that men and women over six foot high have got it made; that they’ve been granted a whole set of special perks the likes of which I could only ever dream of.

We’re constantly hearing about how tall people are statistically more likely to be happier, healthier, live longer, be paid better and are more attractive to the opposite sex. Their height gives them a natural authority and charisma that we vertically-challenged people lack, and we tend to think that our social and physical statures are correlated, regardless of whether or not that assumption is actually true.

Yet new evidence suggests that being tall isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and, if you’re male, could actually bear some alarming disadvantages. Research has shown that men of a certain height actually incur an increased risk of developing a particularly malignant form of prostate cancer compared with their shorter counterparts.
