Yes, osteoporosis can affect height. As the condition weakens bones, it can lead to vertebral fractures and compression in the spine, resulting in a loss of height over time. This shrinkage can be particularly noticeable in older adults, as the cumulative effects of osteoporosis may lead to significant changes in posture and spinal alignment. Regular monitoring and preventive measures can help mitigate height loss associated with osteoporosis.
