Human shrink

[Cloud]

Whats the average length a human shrinks during their lifetime.

 

It terrifies me that one day - I'll be shorter than I am right now. And let me tell you. I'm a shorty.

 

The good news is - I made it into the bottom 5th percentile. High five. No? Ok.

 

Does someone know?

Obviously, environmental factors, the way you postion yourself ...in bed .etc plays a part.

 

I just want an average figure e.g. 1.5 inches.

 

Atleast then its quantative so I know how much more I need to grow to stay in the bottom 5% of males. I don't want to lose my manhood (and have 60% of females taller than me).

 

So - any help.

Would be great.

if you search online im positive you can find some ankle straps that will allow you to hang upside down in your closet a few hours a day. : D

I believe it is of the order of 1", depending upon lifestyle, diet and genetics.

 

To avoid this outcome emigrate to a space colony. In micro-gravity you will grow by a couple of inches. This is not as good as it sounds, as us tall bastards will grow the most.

Don't worry - short, light weight folk don't shrink as much a the tall and heavy ones do. I've lost an inch and a half (I'm 55) mostly due to a collapsing spine. I was six-two once and 180lbs, now I'm shorter and 220.

How are you going to grow, even in microgravity if your growth plates are closed?
