Is it true that as you grow old, your height will also decline?
Question:
Answers:
Yes, as you get older and older your height does decline. Your height declines because of many reasons. You might have seen humpback people they are suffering from kyphosis, or you might've seen someone with their stomach sticking out they are suffering from lordosis. But for a normal person height declines, because your disks in your spine has a lot of cushion like things called cartilage and as we get older and older the cartilage gets thinner and thinner this happens in all parts of our body that cartilage is present. If you have seen most old people their legs are still at the height it was but their upper body has declined in height.
now its cause you slouch and your bones thin.your bones arent as structured as they were when you were young, resulting in slouching
if you have osteoporosis
yes but not until you get much older..like 60 70 80..
no that is not true if you don't slouch but if you do that's how old people look shorter than than they use to when they were young.
