Low weights are expected of course. But note low heights 167 cm, 149 cm (non-centenarian heights are 179 and 166 for men and women in Austria). One of explanations is that mTOR drives both growth and aging

Of course we cannot (and should not) decrease our heights (developmental growth) but we can decrease mTOR activity later in life by low calories diets, fasting, #keto, #rapamycin etc
