If we acknowledge the scientists theory, then short stature people are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to long stature people. The claim came from a medical study in Germany.
The German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke’s research reviewed data more than 27,000 people aged 35 to 65, who had previously been part of a research on the dangers of other dangerous diseases, including diet, lifestyle behaviors and cancer.
Researchers performed physical examination and blood tests of these individuals while they were reviewed for 7 years and during this period, 700 people became diabetic type two.
They discovered that every 4-inch increase in height reduces the risk of a person being diabetic type two by 41 %, and by 33 % in women.

Correlation doesn’t imply causation but I suppose short stature people have a lower metabolism compared to high stature ones, making them more likely to develop obesity despite both following the same lifestyle. Unless there’s a special pro-diabetes gene among the short people, or if it’s due to ethnicity, but we can’t really tell from this study. ?
Thank you for beautiful information
this is pretty self evident…
Yes , I agree with you , Thank you Alex
I don’t know if you would believe this research. My opinion is that it depends mainly on the lifestyle.
Well , It is fact and presently small stature people are more suffering from diabetes as compare to high stature
I am not inclined to think that this is one of the causes of this disease.
Well research finding is really alarming
Poor diet is the main cause of diabetes type 2 and it is found in modern living..
Yes , this is is also one of the reason…
Unfortunately, I do not believe in such research, my friend
Thank you for your comments .
With great pleasure, my friend
I am surprised that diabetes is prevalent all over the world. When I was young it was not rare but not common either like now.
Yeah , but it is very common now , at that time there were pure things and now every thing is artificial even vegetable
Never heard of this, I am short and never had it thankfully.
Great to heard from you . Thank you Carol
Strange, I haven’t heard of this before.
Yeah , In fact this truth ….
I did not know height has a bearing on diabetes. I am 5’4″
I have no diabetes
Do you fall in the age bracket between 35-65 ?
