Isn't true that when we reach old age stage, our body will become thinner ?

If you lose muscle: Muscle loss is the major contributor to thinning as you age.

Yes, but...: The body becomes thinner because of muscle and fat loss. Neither lead to better health. It is very important to maintain good nutrition and a sensible exercise regimen, especially in "old age"!
