Well, I just turned 52, and I've always had long eyelashes, to the extent that people commented on them. Just a couple of weeks ago I happened to be doing my normal eyelash feeling, touching, pulling, whatever sort of thing, which I hadn't done for a long time and suddenly I realized they're about half as long as they used to be. It's like feeling for your arm and realizing you have just a nub of an arm. So, yes, they get shorter, but I don't know why. How odd, because my eyebrows seem to be getting longer.
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.
Tall people tend to shrink less than shorter individuals as they age. This is because taller people have larger bones and more cartilage in between their vertebrae, which helps to maintain their height as they get older. Shorter individuals typically lose more height due to compression of their spinal discs and other factors.
On average, smokers tend to have a shorter lifespan compared to non-smokers. The average age of death for a smoker can vary depending on factors such as the amount smoked and overall health, but studies suggest that smokers tend to die about 10 years earlier than non-smokers.
Arcus senilis itself does not indicate a shorter life expectancy. It is a common age-related change in the cornea, which usually does not affect overall health or longevity. However, it can sometimes be associated with certain health conditions that may impact life expectancy. It is important to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider.
As people age, they tend to require less sleep. This can lead to napping more during the day and sleeping for shorter periods at night. Additionally, factors such as health conditions, medication side effects, and changes in sleep patterns can contribute to older individuals sleeping more.

On average, eyelashes grow about 1 centimeter every two to four weeks. Eyelashes have a short active growth phase. That's why our eyelashes are shorter than the hairs on our head.

not on mine is it really noticable?
Eyelashes turn gray as we age due to a decrease in melanin production in the hair follicles. This is a natural part of the aging process and can happen to anyone as they get older.
Yes. Certain people genetically have longer or shorter eyelashes based on their ancestry. I have Moroccan descent which traces my oldest ancestors to the Arabian peninsula. That area is a very sandy area and the people that come from that area (Arabs and other middle eastern groups) have long eyelashes as an adaptation to the blowing desert sand. Whereas people with ancestry who do not need them as an adaptation as much have seemingly shorter and sometimes no eyelashes.
Yes, the follicles in eyelashes typically have a shorter active growth phase compared to those on the scalp. Eyelash follicles have a shorter active growth phase, lasting only a few weeks, while scalp hair follicles can remain active for a few years before entering a resting phase. This is why eyelashes have a shorter maximum length and lifespan compared to scalp hair.
