Best Answer

As people age, they may experience a reduction in bone density and muscle mass, leading to a decrease in height. Additionally, the discs between the vertebrae in the spine may become compressed over time, contributing to a slight loss in height. These changes can cause individuals to appear shorter as they get older.
