Shrinking with age.
How much can you expect to shrink with age?
Well normally; Men can gradually lose an inch between the ages of 30 to 70, and women can lose about two inches. After the age of 80, it’s possible for both men and women to lose another inch.
Osteoporosis weakens your bones, causing them to develop microfractures. Over time your bones may settle or collapse, causing you to get even shorter.
I see my "mother in law" every day so I hadn't really noticed how much she had shrunk until I saw her trying to lock her front door today.
