Taller people may have a higher risk of nerve, skin and heart diseases

Being taller may increase your risk of developing nerve, skin and some heart diseases, according to the largest study linking height and disease to date. The findings suggest that height could be used as a risk factor to prioritise screening tests for those at greatest risk of certain diseases.

The team then confirmed that these conditions had the same associations with the participants’ actual measured height, suggesting that measuring someone’s height could be a quick and easy way to determine their disease risk. The taller you are, the higher the risk would be.

Are Atrial Fibrillation, Palpitations and varicose 'heart disease'? I don't think they are. The study said heart disease was lower in taller people.

Could there also be behavioral components involved, so that shorter than local average (not global, that is meaningless at school age) would choose to avoid risk factors early on and permanently unlike the taller and especially the locally tallest?
