Are you shorter than you were in your youth?

[pal]

I'm not sure what you mean?

In mental hospital.

Same for me. I'm curious do you do use an inversion board or do any spine decompression like bar hangs, dips, etc? I started doing those things about 20 years ago for lower back pain.

No, but have been physically active my whole life and been a daily vitamin user plus maybe living a rural life with fresh food available may be a factor.

Yep, 1.50" loss in height. That's what walking on concrete for 40+ years will do for ya.

I hadn't seen my brother in years. When we were around 18 or 20 I remember going back to back with him my Dad said we were exactly the same height. I was shocked when I saw him, he was nearly 2 inches shorter than me. I'm wondering how common it is to shrink in height?

Happens to everyone, but 2 inches seems like a lot.

 

[Unkotare]

Dude, that's not the only thing.

When I was young, I could be described to the ladies as a "Summer Sausage".

Now, it's more like a Slim Jim.

But your nose and your feet keep getting bigger.

 

[Kruska]

Nope, I was born at six foot one inch. I am now six feet two inches. It is not abnormal to shrink with old age.

Same here - only my wife for some unknown reasons always tells me, straighten up when you walk.

Look, I'm not saying that if I'm excited and run into a wall, I'm going to break My nose first, but there it is.

Not yet, but not expecting it to pass me by.

Of course in high school when I first got my Driver's license at 17 I lied and put 5'10" on it hoping I'd keep growing.

Fast forward 6 years and at 23 I admitted defeat and put in 5'8"

The real sign if aging is hair in your nose and on your ears.

I'm still the same height, but I suppose gravity will eventually prevail.

 

[sparky]

shorter no.....wider yes...... ~S~

My heels ensure I never shrink -- whatever that word means .

As for width -- mature women are invariably contoured in more exciting ways than most of the waifs and anorexics who still claim to be female even without make-up and clothes .

Gravity everyone loses height as we age

 

[rightwinger]

I am about 2 in shorter than I was in HS
To make up for it, I am 50 lbs heavier

I'm almost an inch shorter but my shoe size has increased. I think I'm melting.

 

[hjmick]

Well... I'm taller than I was when I was 10, but I may be a tad shorter than I was when I was 25...

Yes but there's quite a variance of height loss between individuals, my brother and I being good examples of that.

High heels don't count. Sry.
Besides, what you literally said is not even possible. lol

I am simply answering the OP's question.
