> Such naturally body hair devoid males also happen to live statistically significantly longer and healthier lives as well as outnumber the number of the said proudly hirsute males by a significant proportion.

As though living longer without a beard is somehow a good thing.

A beard is the facial hair, not the body hair. The beard hair is coarser, is longer, and the beard hair growth is regulated by different hormonal pathways. It is possible for an adult male to grow a beard whilst remaining completely body hair free.
