>ombodhi measures 6'2" usually, occasionally 6'3".

The apparent reason height correlates inversely with age is that
height also correlates directly with protein intake during
childhood.  But suppose you break the family cycle of heavy
protein intake, once you have reached maturity.  We know from
other sorts of caloric restriction studies that no matter what
age you begin at, great benefits will be reaped from subsequent
caloric and/or protein restriction (although the best time to
begin is prior to maturity).  So tall stature would appear to be
a real minor brake on the lifespan, & if you get restricted
early enough after maturity, you should do fine.
