are they born with it?or does it just grow on them wen they get older?ive noticed a lot of old people got this,is it a disese?

Answer:

as people grow older they will develope their backbones to hunchback.

Because most of the peoples sit like a snake, as times pass, their backbones will develop to a curve, thats why when they walk, they will hunchback.

Old people became hunchback because they have less calsium in their bones. Their bones became soft but their shoulders are heavy. Thats why its pulling them down to a hunchback phenomenan

If you see it on young people, then most probably it is of congenital origin. But when you see it around old people, it's a health condition called osteoporosis. This causes thinning and weakening of the normal bone. Old people develop hunchbacks, or kyphosis (a more appropriate term) because the bone cannot adequately support the total weight of the body. Osteoporosis is usually caused by estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women, aging or calcium deficiency.
