A member asked:
What age do men start to shrink in height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
At elderly age.: Men, like women, can get osteoporosis, although it's much less common in men than in women. And as such, men can get vertebral compression fractures which could cause them to lose height. This would happen in elderly ages.
