The actual studies [1],[2] that tried to measure this came to very different rates of height loss though: 3.6 cm and 6 cm from 40 to 80 in men. This does not look like a serious fact. 1. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10547143/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10547143/ 2. https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/21/4694 https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/21/4694 (referencing the FHS there, the numbers are hard to find on the study's website).

Even the low end of 3.6cm is 1.4 inches. Feels like you're being rather...goal post movey.

  There is no "low end" , such a huge difference shows that both studies are not reliable.

    The difference was 3.6cm in the study that measured 10 more years 30-80. And 5cm in the study that measured 10 fewer years 40-80. The studies were conducted over different time periods when average nutrition changed, and demographics changed. And the study demographics just vary by location. Height loss with age is incredibly well documented. Here’s a few more studies. This is just basic medical textbook information. No one in the world is arguing that this phenomenon doesn’t exist. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32611342/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32611342/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24962157/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24962157/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10602346/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10602346/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667032125000058 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266703212...

      Now, who is moving goalposts?

        No one: Again, from your OP: "so unless people naturally shrink 2" with age" Are you denying basic science here, or what? Like, what is your deal?

        Read what I wrote, read what you wrote. If you still don't get it - ask a chatbot, though you obviously understand and are just trolling.

        I’m also confused.
