According to research, shrinking in height can begin as early as the 30s. While males gradually lose an inch between age 30 and 70, females can lose about two inches during the same time period. After age 80, both males and females can lose another inch. There are several reasons for shrinking, including older age, loss of bone density from osteoporosis, a decline in muscle mass from sarcopenia, and also poor posture – which is called hyperkyphosis! #DrHenSays #HealthFacts #Shrinking #PoorPostur
