Well, since I found out what a nice, responsive group of people
you all are, I thought I'd field another question (good con-job, eh?)

Can anyone tell me at what height a person's life is considered to
become shorter?

[ Hmmm.  Sounds - funny -  Lets try: ]

I know that there is a certain height limit where doctors consider
that a person might have a shorter life.  Possibly due to poor
circulation, the heart having to pump harder, etc.  Does anyone
know where this limit starts?

As you might have guessed, I'm fairly tall (seven feet) and 
occasionlly wonder...
