Following my investigations through various studies, I believe it hinges on your research methodology, thus the question of whether taller or shorter individuals have a longer lifespan cannot be definitively answered.

This thread contains some surprisingly misleading information.

Upon examining meta-analyses (which represent the highest quality of evidence available), a consistent pattern emerges indicating that shorter individuals tend to have longer lifespans. There are numerous theoretical reasons for this, such as specific gene polymorphisms; however, it ultimately relates to shorter people experiencing lower rates of cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular risks.
