- Which of the following is not a reason we become shorter as we age? a.As a person ages, the intervertebral discs become thinner and the vertebrae will be stacked closer together, resulting in shorter stature. b.As a person ages, vertebral bodies lose bone mass (osteoporosis) resulting in smaller vertebrae that stack closer together. c.As a person ages, scoliosis may develop resulting in an abnormal spinal curvature and shorter stature. d.As a person ages, the ligaments connecting vertebrae together are weakened, resulting in a more pronounced kyphosis.
