Shorter people tend to live longer though and have fewer cardiovascular disease risks as well as cancer.

It's primarily because they have lower blood pressure in general which leads to less risk to cardiovascular disease. Shorter body takes less pressure to pump blood to the head. The cancer thing is because smaller bodies have fewer cells. Fewer cells, less of a chance one of them malfunctions and turns into cancer.
