What Causes Loss Of 1.5 Inches Of Height In Less Than 1 Year S Time?
what would cause me to lose 1.5 inches of height in less than 1 year s time? I am 54. Female, in menapause. I have bone density tests every few years (the last one being Dec. 2011) and always pass with flying colors results with lowest possible risk factors.
Your symptoms could be related to chronic degeneration of the intervertebral disks or the vertebral column bones. For this reason, I recommend performing an X-ray study of the vertebral column.

Take care
