Sev friends in 40s shrinking slightly in height;, so why would i @ 40 start growing again significantly after yrs of no growth? nothing else changing
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Growth: It's abnormal for someone of your age to start growing again unless you simply have improved your posture seemingly giving you greater height. If you are truly concerned, an endocrinologist is qualified to evaluate and advise you.
