Is it true that people lose height as they age, with shrinkage typically beginning around age 40?

Yes. A Cleveland Clinic health article states that a bit of height loss with age is normal, especially after turning 40, and a longitudinal study of Chinese immigrants notes shrinkage begins in older adults. Together they support the claim that people lose height with age, typically starting around 40.
