There are various reasons behind this . Firstly , our spine consists of fluid – filled discs placed in between bones called vertebrae . But as the years pass by , these discs begin to lose fluid and degrade , causing them to flatten . As a result , the distance between the vertebrae decreases , thus decreasing our height and making us shorter .
Secondly , as we age , many of us suffer from osteoporosis . This makes our bones so weak that they develop microfractures . Now , as most of these fractures happen in the front of our vertebrae , it causes forward rounding of our back , a condition called kyphosis . This gives us a stooped posture , thus making us look shorter . Lastly , as aging also causes loss of muscle mass , especially in the abdomen , it can make us slouch . Hence , this can also lead to a stooped posture , thus giving us an appearance of being shorter .
