I know the spinal cord shrinks with age and I'm adopted and didn't believe my real brother when he said my dad shrunk 3-4 inches by the time he was 42 but do now that I'm 38. I knew I might shrink an inch but 3-4 inches is too much. Even my legs are shorter than when I was in my 20's are they measuring pants differently?

due to drops in the level of calcium in their body, men's bones begin to degenerate. over a period of time this can cause one bone to collapse and press upon another bone. eventually the weight of this compression causes other bones to more easily collapse. thus, men become shorter

sad but true, you do get shorter as you get older. the spine starts to compress. by age forty, you'll be at least an inch shorter than in high school. You'll loose about another inch every 10 to fifteen years after that. Get lots of calcium; it'll help. And, like your grandma used to say, Stand up straight.

it is not just men that shrink it is also women==i just got back from my yearly check up and i am one full inch shorter than i was in high school..i am not too sure why this happens but when i found out i was only 5'3" i was devastated.
another cheery thought is that your nose and your ears will continue to GROW as you get older also.

All different issues being equivalent, the guy will oftentimes pick the maximum popular woman and the lady will oftentimes pick the richest guy. youthful females tend to be warmer. and because it oftentimes takes it sluggish to get carry of or legally inherit wealth, lots of time you notice the age distinction. it is not our faults that our seek for a mate is so superficial. we are socialized to be this type, whilst on the comparable time pretending that's deep with make have self belief issues like unconditional love and soul friends.
