I am 43 yrs old and only 5'2 NOW whereas i used to be 5'3.So far i seem to have lost nearly an inch. The worst thing is being short to start off with but now you lose height as you get older.BAH

We all do this....at 50 I am down a bit too....but if you are a woman, make sure to maintain a good daily dose of calcium. You lose calcium as you get older and it can lead to a loss of bone density and increased shrinkage...and a curved spine...

Apparently it starts happening from about the age of 25. A doctor told me it's due to the cushioning between the bones losing effect gradually so the bones all move closer together.

I was wondering after reading this about how your bone density was doing.
I've not gotten any shorter as of yet due to age. I'm 35 but I know I need to keep an eye on it because I'm prone to osteoporosis due to a couple medical conditions I have.

I think it is a natural process. You become bent from the backside and shoulders bone also get slightly curved.
In males, even the size of the penis get reduced after 45 or so.
