I always thought stress could make us lose weight, but is it possible for stress or anything else to actually make us shorter?

Stress doesn't directly affect height reduction. However, chronic stress can impact growth and development, particularly during childhood and adolescence. Here's why: Why Stress Doesn't Directly Affect Height 1. Adult height is largely determined by genetics (80-90%). 2. Growth plates close naturally around age 18-25, marking the end of vertical growth. Indirect Effects of Stress on Height 1. Hormonal imbalance: Chronic stress can disrupt hormone regulation, potentially affecting growth hormones (GH) and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). 2. Malnutrition: Stress can lead to poor eating habits, nutrient deficiencies, and inadequate caloric intake, potentially impacting growth. 3. Sleep disturbances: Stress can disrupt sleep patterns, essential for growth hormone release and bone development.
