<p>It is common for both men and women to face some level of height loss that typically begins in their 50s. This could be due to ageing-related changes in posture, spinal compression fractures caused by loss of bone density or the shrinkage of discs in the spinal column. </p> <p>The shrinkage of height is more common in women than men and researchers have now found that a greater height loss may be an indicator of health decline. A study of 2,400 European women found that those who experience greater height loss during middle age may be at a higher risk of death. </p> <p>Publishing in the journal BMJ Open, the scientists clarify that height loss may not be a risk factor but can be used as a marker for other causes. After adjusting for lifestyle factors like age, weight or smoking habits, it was found that significant height loss — defined as more than 2 cm in the study — was linked to a more than twofold increased risk of stroke. Overall, the study associated major height loss with a 71% higher risk of early death from all causes.</p> <p><strong>SEE MORE <a href=https://www.editorji.com/story/poor-diet-and-lack-of-exercise-affect-women-s-mental-health-more-than-men-s-study-1624786323818>Poor diet and lack of exercise affect women’s mental health more than men’s: Study </a></strong></p> <p>On a positive note, the researchers also said that high physical activity was linked to reduced height loss, so exercise may work as a guard against height shrinkage by post-menopausal women. </p> <p>Moreover, the findings urge healthcare providers to pay more attention to height loss to identify higher cardiovascular disease risk individuals.</p> <p><strong>SEE MORE <a href=https://www.editorji.com/story/endometriosis-a-disease-that-forces-women-to-suffer-in-silence-1621944056664>Endometriosis: A disease that forces women to suffer in silence</a></strong></p>
