My husband is too young to shrink!

My husband is 52.

When we met he was 5 feet 11 ( in his early 20s)
He's now 5 feet 9!

He can still fit into his 32 inch jeans and he weighs around 10 stone something! He's always been tall and thin.

I know we all shrink with age but surely this is too much too early?

I appear to have lost less than half an inch of height although I've gained weight.

Isn't age related shrinking connected to osteoporosis?

It's less common in men, but does occur

I really don't know what the cause it,
He's pretty fit and healthy, while he doesn't do any exercise he's a carpenter so on his feet and quite physical.
He's not interested in going to the GP
