Q1: What happens to the shape of people as they get older?<

[Answer]

As humans get older they change shape.

They begin as babies with a head that is large compared to their bodies in later life.

Then their bodies grow upwards, so they appear tall and thin. Later their bodies fill out.

Then, in old age, people start to get a little shorter and their muscles are less powerful.
