The ebb and flow of body height.

Most people are taller in the morning than just before bedtime.  The average spine compresses a surprising amount during a day on your feet.  I was 6'1" when I was in the Navy and barely 5'11" now. but then that was 50 years ago.

I think the missing height is still there just in a different direction.

I have had nurses ask me how tall I used to be. I said I was all sizes up until I graduated high school. I've been 6'5" ever since. They are surprised I haven't shrunk some in 69 years.

You must still have good posture, Lj.

I think a lot of people get shorter because of posture changes. When growing up, there was some attention to walk and sit properly. I don't think that's true anymore. Certainly not among younger generations.
