Explain!: If you are measuring your height slouched over, then of course you will be shorter. If you stand up normally and are still 4 inches shorter than you were, then it could be due to scoliosis, although I would expect that someone responsible would have noted this and had it evaluated if it was enough to cause this much shortening. If you are really 4 inches shorter, then you need to see a doctor soon
