Does you age affect your lung capacity?

Men have larger lung capacities than women. Tall people also have larger lung capacities than short people. It is said that people aged 20-25 have larger lung capacities than other age groups, Its because by the time you have reached your twenties your lungs have reached their full capacity, but when you are a kid then your lungs aren't fully developed so they don't have a large capacity. From when you are 20 your lung capacity starts going down so an old man has about the same lung capacity as a very small boy.
