As you get older, you can suffer from painful hips, and our joints wear a lot quicker than for people of average height.

I've found that it's actually more of a disability to be tall than short. I have no problem fitting into plane toilets etc, and the adaptations made for wheelchair users - such as the lowering of bank machines - work for me as well.
