I just Googled about people losing height as they age. And it seems to be factual that folks shrink with age. I measured the same height as always (almost 5'10") at my last physical a few months ago. Man, I don't wanna shrink!!!
NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I like being tall and springy!!
Shrinkage with age is caused by osteoporosis. Estimates vary,Shrinking with age??? Oh my no good golly with a tail on, I’m gonna be like 4’11...or 4’10...or...NOT AT ALL

This is not a whining about not being tall thread, but sometimes I’m thinking about what it’d be like being tall, like 5’8 or 5’9.
Is it easier going through life from those heights, than from the valleys of 5’2 or 5’3?
I’d sure wanna be like 5’9 for one day just to get to know what it’s like.
I know Irish and Italian, have some of both in family. The Irish are the most volatile (explosive).

YAAAAYYYY!! No wonder I didn't shrink yet. I exercise/weight train a lot and walk/hike regularly. And I eat well & take vitamin supplements.
That's where my height went! I gave a couple inches to you.Interesting you say that.... All my adult life I thought I was the same height I was in high school (5'5").... but about 8 years ago I had to get a physical for my pharmacy license and was shocked to find out I had grown 2 full inches!
And that's why I grow sideways. Because even after up, it wasn't enough growing. lolYou don't want to be tall for the same reason a friend of mine at church wasn't really excited about getting her driver's license when she got old enough - "When I get it, mom will always be sending me to the store for something." When you are tall people are always asking you to get something they can't reach.
No I'm not tall. I have observed those who are tall though. And I've asked a few of them to get something I couldn't reach.
In the meantime...
And, for me. I really did lose height at about the time I lost springy. I just vaguely remember springy anymore. lolI just Googled about people losing height as they age.
