Just wondering if this is a common problem for older ladies and whether there is anything that can be done to improve ?

My mother suffered from this. Need to try to stop the vertebrae from collapsing as you age. I think the best you can do is ask for a bone density scan and make sure you have enough calcium in your diet. consider some weight bearing exercise if appropriate.
