Is it possible for someone to become shorter?!
Question: Is it possible for someone to become shorter!?
I am 16 and a half!. Last year the doctor measured me, and I was 5'9"!. Now in my recent visit I am 5'8!.5"!. So basically, I think I shrank a half inch!. Is that possible for a healthy young man!? Or am I not as healthy as I thought!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Ohhh!! I think I know what your trying to describe!.
Maybe you were measured in the morning the first time!.
And the second time you were measured in the afternoon!.
In the morning believe it or not, you are one inch taller than you were the night before!.
Why you may ask!? Gravity!.
Later in the day!.!.!. you "shrink" when your spine is compressed down and you get 1 inch or 1/2 shorter!.
I hope this helps!Www@Answer-Health@Com

height measurements are never 100% accurate when the human eye is doing the measurement!. also the time of day can affect your height as the day progresses your more likely do be more slouched even though you might not think you are!. the spine can become slightly compressed due to the weight and having to hold up your body!. dont panic your not shrinkingWww@Answer-Health@Com
No, the first doctor rounded up, or one of them measured incorrectly!. You will shrink a little, when you are old, and no longer stand up as straight!. But at 16 no, you are still growing, you still have stong muscles, you did not shrink!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Maybe one of the doctors measured wrong!. It's fairly common in elderly women due to osteoporosis; i highly doubt it's anything to worry about in your case!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

With age the cushioning between our disks becomes thinner and we do 'shrink'!. At 16, I don't think that would be an issue!. Perhaps the original 5'9" measurement was off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
yes its actually possible!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.its because of the loss of something in the bone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
