Default Size Correlation With Health-- Anyone Else Curious?

I'm curious to see if the community here could help with some data. I know I keep seeing people post that the larger yorkies are healthier, and then other people reply saying that isn't necessarily true. Would anybody be interested in trying to pull together a group of statistics that we could plot against each other to see if there really is a correlation between size and health?

Maybe if we had people who have lost yorkies note their weight, and the age at which they passed away? Those two numbers could be plotted against each other. If we get enough feedback, we might actually have some supporting evidence one way or the other as to whether the size of the yorkie really impacts life expectancy. It wouldn't be a comprehensive picture of total health, but it might prove interesting in any case.
