21、of shrinking cant be reversed, although people can slow or stop this process. But why does shrinking happen at all? Because of gravity (that force that keeps your feet on the ground) , cushions between the bones in the spine (脊骨), get compressed（压缩, which makes a person lose a little height and beco
22、me shorter. Another reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis (骨质疏松). Osteoporosis occurs when bone is broken down and not enough new bone material is made.
