Lifespan

Question

My Mexican grandma is a very petite woman (around 4’10 or smaller now) and she is turning 94 this year and still going strong. I had a great aunt that lived to be 102 (very petite as well) despite her negative circumstances (no children, widowed for decades, and lived alone).My husband’s grandma is 89 and still going strong despite falling in 2023 and living a semi healthy lifestyle. Any other people on this sub with petite family members that have lived long? Unfortunately I can’t say the same thing about the men in my family but I think it’s due to the hard labor they did for a living. Obviously I don’t know how long I will live, but this is a great motivator to save up a ton for retirement. We might be here long.
