Question 6/25/2010
Q. Why do we shrink as we get older?

A. Unfortunately, all of us will lose an inch or 2 when our skin starts to fall off our bones. You can partially blame gravity for the loss in height. We all lose muscle and fat as we age and gravity weighs down on the bones in our spines that may cause compression.
I guess the explains why “some” old people can barely see over the steering wheel.
