Something about aging shrinks people. Maybe it's the effect of old age on posture, or cartilage compression, or maybe it's just how kids these days shoot up like beanpoles with how much they eat. Either way, most senior citizens — especially the skilled, powerful ones that can kick the crap out of younger folk — are rarely over three or four feet tall.
In real life, there is a basis for shrinking in scientific lore. Some people develop hunchbacks due to severe arthritis, a lifetime of malnutrition, or other medical problems. Except in cases of severe osteoporosis, however, most healthy people will only lose a couple of inches from their tallest height over their lifetime. Note, however, that each generation has been, on average, taller than the last throughout the 20th century even in the West thanks to heartier diets rich in protein that their peasant ancestors could not enjoy, while Japan in particular (and Asia in general) is currently going through an accelerated version of this phenomenon since the end of World War II. Also, from a point of view of today's Japanese, people who were children during WW2 would also have been hit hard by malnutrition, food rationing and the outright starvation of 1944-45; malnutrition as children inevitably stunts growth. Place the undernourished child of 1944, now no younger than their middle seventies, against more fortunate post-war Japanese generations - i.e. the first wave of Generation X, who were born and grew up during the start of Japan's post-WWII economic miracle - and you will inevitably see a huge height difference. Taller people tend to have shorter lifespans, which accounts for elder characters in general being shorter, but not individual height loss.
Since this tends not to be noted as anything peculiar by younger characters, it's also an instance of Cartoonish Companions. See also Pint-Sized Kid and Short Teens, Tall Adults for when people on the opposite end of the age spectrum have their size difference exaggerated. If the elderly character is a parent, see Small Parent, Huge Child.

Archibald from Triangle Strategy is shown in the ending card for the Golden route to come up to Anna's waist (and she, in turn, is about shoulder-height to Benedict). While it's unclear exactly how much height he lost, Archibald's profile art in his flashback makes him look significantly taller. He does walk with a cane in the present day, so at least part of it could be due to poor posture in his old age.

Zigzagged all-around in Adventure Time. The Old Lady plays it straight, being much shorter than a pre-teen boy, whereas the Ice King averts it, being about as tall as younger adults. Totally inverted with Billy, who is a literal giant.

Cologne and Happôsai from Ranma ½. Lampshaded in a flashback which showed that Cologne was normal height in the past but Happôsai was a younger version of what he looks like now. In Cologne's flashback, anyway. In Happôsai's flashback, he was tall and extremely pretty. Although it's much easier to believe Cologne than Happôsai.
The anime lampshades this in a different way; one episode has them travel to the past when Happôsai and Cologne were teens themselves. Happôsai tries to claim to have been a tall, blond Bishōnen, but nobody believes him and, to nobody's surprise, the 18-year-old Happôsai turns out to be an ugly little dwarf. Cologne then claims that a beautiful, dark blue-haired girl sweeping in the village is her past self. Ranma outright tells her to make her lies more believable, and Cologne promptly proves that, yes, that really is her younger self. In the English dub, this nets a dumbfounded "Oh my god!" from all of the others present, even Shampoo herself.
Lampshaded again when Happôsai explains why he can't hit the pressure points on Hinako to nullify her Energy Absorption power: it involves hitting points on her front and back simultaneously and his arms are too short to do that.
As well as Cologne and Happôsai, Ranma ½ has other Miniature Senior Citizens as well. The manga has Happôsai's old partner/rival Lukkosai, who has managed to get himself a Jusenkyô Spring of Drowned Child curse—his child form is conveniently the exact same height as his elderly one. The anime has Happôsai's old friend Chingensai, who basically looks like Happôsai with a massive head of brown hair that, coupled with his thick beard/moustache, covers his whole head, and a trio of unnamed others who show up in an early seventh season episode.
Finally, a Filler episode in the first season gives us Kin Ono, the diminutive mother of Dr. Tôfû Ono. Unlike these others, she's only a "normal" old person, about 60 or so, but she seems to have been fairly tiny even when she was a young girl.

Noob generally has the size of gaming avatars proportional to the avatar's level, sometimes adjusted for the player's actual talent. The only elder among the players is implied to be on the higher end of the scale (and confirmed to be there in All There in the Manual), yet is drawn as much shorter than younger players of similar level; the only other characters with similar proportions are the avatars of players just getting started and the two less talented players among the protagonists.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild:
Muzu of the Zora and all the elderly Gerudo are withered, bent and short in their old age. They're still eye level with Link, but Zora and Gerudo adults are otherwise several heads taller than he is.
The +100-year-old Impa and Robbie play this even straighter (both of them barely coming up to Link's waist), while Purah subverts it due to a botched anti-aging experiment resulting in her having the body of a child. Much like the aforementioned old woman, Impa and Robbie are both shown to have been of normal height 100 years ago. Impa in particular is shown to have looked almost identical to her normal-height granddaughter Paya back in the day.

In The Simpsons episode "Radioactive Man", when Bart tries (and partially succeeds) in growing an inch overnight in order to win a movie role, he's told that he's growing at the same rate that Grandpa is shrinking. Grandpa then wanders by, his hair barely poking up above the table, saying "I'm as tall as I ever was!" (Of course, he's his normal height the next time we see him.)
Although he does once claim to be only 31, Hans Moleman at least looks elderly and is very short.

The Bad Guys (2022): At one point during the movie, Mr. Wolf bumps into an almost comically tiny elderly woman and saves her from falling down the stairs. Notably, she is the only human character in the movie with such exaggerated proportions. It turns out to be a Justified Trope, as she is later revealed to have been the movie's guinea pig antagonist in disguise.

Fullmetal Alchemist:
Winry's grandmother, Pinako, seems to barely come up to most character's waists. Nonetheless, she still makes fun of Ed for being short. Notably, when Dominic recalls Pinako as a young woman, she's a great deal taller than she is when we see her in the show's present; whether she really was that tall or the character recalling her is exaggerating (he's terrified by the mention of her name) is not made clear. It should be noted that a young Pinako appears in a photograph with Hohenheim and really is a great deal taller.
In a Fullmetal Alchemist artbook, Arakawa draws Ed going through Animation Anatomy Aging. As Ed matures, she draws him like his father, but once he reaches an elderly age, she draws him as tiny as Pinako.

Dragon Ball goes back and forth on this, depending on what species is shown. Muten Roshi is below average height even taking his hunched posture into account, with his sister Uranai Baba being so small she's Ambiguously Human. Piccolo Daima� and the Eldest Namekian are both 2-3 times the size of an adult. Ditto King Cold and Chi-Chi's father Gyū Ma�. Babidi is a million years old and is barely 2 feet tall. Dr. Gero (or at least his android body) is the only elderly character of a normal height.

Harry Potter:
Professor Flitwick. Word of God is that he had a goblin ancestor somewhere in the family, which may have contributed to his height.
Proffessor Griselda Marchbanks, the Governor of the Wizarding Examinations Authority who would have been at least 118 when Harry first met her in Order of the Phoenix is described as "the tiny, stooped witch with a face so lined it looked as though it had been draped in cobwebs".
Bathilda Bagshot, who's at least in her 130s, is described as only coming to Harry's chest.

Old man Strago from Final Fantasy VI is 4'11" (151 cm), the second shortest character in the game, with his 10 year old granddaughter Relm being taller than him (5'0"/153 cm) and the only shorter character being the non-human Mog (4'0"/122 cm).
Their respective sprites, however, are just as large as the sprites for the other characters. For Relm this is accomplished through a distinctive hat, but Strago makes up for lack of height with an abundance of Mohawk.

Yugi's grandpa Sugoroku in Yu-Gi-Oh!. It should be noted, however, that Yugi's not much taller, so it could be an inheritable condition...except that he used to have a normal height when he was in his 40s. However, since that flashback was from his perspective, he could have imagined himself taller. Although the manga shows another kind of flashback where he looked taller than he's now.

In a particularly strange spin on the trope, Hank's father Cotton in King of the Hill had his legs below the shins surgically removed after a war injury, then had his feet attached to the bottom of his legs. He was tall enough before this (6'4'') that he's still taller (5'0'') than most examples on this page.

Also lampshaded in Inuyasha, in which Miyoga is smaller than the younger characters for a reason — he's a flea. Kikyo's sister Kaede and Kagome's grandfather are also both shorter than most of the rest of the cast, although with somewhat more realistic proportions.

Bamse: Inverted. Bamse is a family man (OK, anthropomorphic bear) with four children. Three of them are half his height, very reasonable since they are supposed to be around eight years old, and the fourth is a toddler. Bamse's parents are one head taller than him, and his grandmother is again one head taller, meaning that Bamse just about reaches granny's waist, and Bamse's toddler daughter is shorter than granny's foot is long! This is interestingly true for more or less every single family in the series. Despite Bamse's friends Ola, Mickelina and Annika being well into their twenties, they are about a head shorter than their parents.

Pryce in Pokémon Adventures, who is confined to a wheelchair to boot. Agatha and Bertha are lighter examples. Averted in the games, where Pryce is taller than the player. Also averted with Professor Oak, Professor Rowan, Blaine, Wattson, Drayden, and Alder. Agatha and Bertha are still somewhat short in the games, though definitely not miniature.

Benjamin Button from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was born a baby-sized old man (not a spoiler) and gets younger as the story progresses while growing in stature the same way a normal child does as they get older. In the original story, he might be the size of an aged adult (he's explicitly described as too big for the crib). Don't think too much about the birth.

In the 2016 series episode "The Wrinklegruff Gals", the Powerpuff Girls drink an aging serum invented by the Professor in hopes that growing older will earn respect from the other kids at school, but end up becoming elderly because they consume too much. Though they have gray hair, wrinkles, and other signs of growing old, they remain the same height they were when they were little girls.

While not as extreme as some of the other example on this page, Lo and Li from Avatar: The Last Airbender are still fairly short. A portrait of them painted in their youth, shown in the Beach Episode, shows that they were not always that small. Nor that ugly.
Played straightish by Iroh, though he was pretty short in flashbacks too.
In one episode, Aang, while entering Omashu, tries (and succeeds) in passing himself off as one of these. Technically, since he's 112 years old, he actually is one.
The Sequel Series The Legend of Korra also plays this straight with Katara (who has become noticeably shorter than when she was a teenager) and Mako and Bolin's grandmother Yin (who's nearly a head shorter than Korra). While Toph was never particularly tall (she's only 12 in the first series, and while she did get a growth spurt she was still noticeably shortest of the cast as an adult), age seems to have also taken a bit off her height as well (though her hunched-over Reverse Arm-Fold posture doesn't help). This could also be explained as them having grown-up in the fantastical equivalent of the Industrial Revolution and just being shorter than later generations because in real life, human height really shot up◊ during the period as overall quality of life drastically improved.

The Legend of Zelda:
The twin witches Koume and Kotake in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (where they are boss characters) and Majora's Mask (where they are helpful NPCs) appear to be hunched and withered, but they still manage to be taller than adult Link.
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess: Most Gorons are so huge Link comes up maybe to their chin. Most of the elders, however, are shorter than him.
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword: The old woman watching over the Sealed Ground is notably short and hunched over. What makes this stick out more than most examples is that she is actually Impa thousands of years older, and we see her younger self as a result of time travel; she was once a very tall and athletic beanpole.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild:
Muzu of the Zora and all the elderly Gerudo are withered, bent and short in their old age. They're still eye level with Link, but Zora and Gerudo adults are otherwise several heads taller than he is.
The +100-year-old Impa and Robbie play this even straighter (both of them barely coming up to Link's waist), while Purah subverts it due to a botched anti-aging experiment resulting in her having the body of a child. Much like the aforementioned old woman, Impa and Robbie are both shown to have been of normal height 100 years ago. Impa in particular is shown to have looked almost identical to her normal-height granddaughter Paya back in the day.

Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness feature the Fun Old Man and Fun Old Lady trainer classes — senior Trainers who have retired and might possibly challenge the player for the thrill. They're considerably shorter than Wes and Rui of Colosseum, and about equal with Micheal of XD. There's also Mayor Es Cade of Phenac a.k.a. Evice, the Puppet Boss of Cipher from Colosseum, who is about on par with the aforementioned trainer classes, and Mr. Verich a.k.a.

Chin Gentsai in The King of Fighters is a diminutive man (he's just about as tall as Choi Bounge — himself a midget) well into his eighties, who drinks a lot, and still he can kick your ass and spit fire.
Truth in Television: Chin's design was a homage to Chinese actor Yuen Siu Tien. Yuen's most famous role was that of Beggar So in Drunken Master and Snake in the Eagle's Shadow, and he's quite shorter than Jackie Chan. He was 66 years old when the movies were shot.

Onoki, the current Tsuchikage is an old man so tiny that he's only about 1.5 times as tall as his Kage head piece is long. It turns out that Onoki was always tiny, though.
Sabu is also pretty tiny, especially compared to his giant raccoon and his giant axe.
In the Spin-Offspring series Boruto, either Hiashi has shrunk compared to in Naruto or he's Off-Model. Naruto should only be a few centimeter taller than him, however he towers over Hiashi.

My Hero Academia:
Gran Torino is a straight example. In flashbacks he's as tall as Nana Shimura. In the present he's half the height of Midoriya, who is himself one of the shortest boys in his class. The fact that present-day Gran Torino was inspired by Yoda explains a lot.
Recovery Girl, the U.A.'s resident School Nurse is even shorter, though we have yet to see her when she was young.
Midoriyas's mother, Inko Midoriya, is a downplayed example. She's not elderly yet, but in flashbacks, she's notably taller than she is now. The implication likely being that she will be a straight example of this trope in her 60s and 70s.

Hilda: Hilda's elementary school teacher Ms. Hallgrim is an elderly woman who is barely taller than the kids in her class. And since Pint-Sized Kid is also in effect in this show, that means she is notably smaller than other adult characters.

Inverted in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers, for the Lilties. Typically small in their prime, the average never going taller than four feet (excepting the princess and those train conductors), Lilties grow much larger as they age; Cid is nearly as tall as Layle and quite wide to boot, and Jegran could easily pass for a basketball player. The elderly Lilties are large enough to toss bystanders aside as they run.

One Piece:
78-year-old Miss Bakkin is 68 centimeters tall, just over two feet. This is in sharp contrast to her 35-year-old son Edward Weevil, who's 680 centimeters tall, approximately twenty-two feet.
Back when Hyogoro of the Flower was a prominent yakuza boss at age fifty, he was of comparable height to Kozuki Oden, who's twelve feet tall. After twenty years of hard labour at Udon's Prisoner Mine, seventy-year-old Hyogoro has shrunk to just over three feet tall. He regains his former height when infected with the Ice Oni virus, which increases a person's physical strength at the cost of putting a deadly strain on their body.

Enya Geil from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. She's seen in a photograph carrying the Bow and Arrow; the bow in question is a normal-sized recurve bow, but she has to put her body through the curve to carry it, because it's as tall as she is.
Averted with Joseph Joestar in Part 4. First off, he is now 79 years old and time has clearly caught up to him, losing the physique and vitality he had since he was at least 18 (Part 2), keeping said attributes even at 67 (Part 3). However, he is seen walking next to his grandson Jotaro in Chapter 347 and they're the same height. Officially, Jotaro and Joseph are both 195cm/6'4" tall, but the latter hasn't shrunk in his old age, at all.

Master Makarov Dreyar of the eponymous wizard guild Fairy Tail. Ironically, one of his more used magic abilities, Titan, lets him turn into a giant. A photo in the anime shows he was short even in his youth and a flashback in the manga shows he was short by the time he was about forty, but he's shrunk considerably in the present. Oddly his son Ivan and grandson Laxus are very large men and his father Yuri was pretty tall as well.

The Powerpuff Girls:
The Mayor of Townsville is an old man and is only slightly taller than the titular heroines Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup.
In the 2016 series episode "The Wrinklegruff Gals", the Powerpuff Girls drink an aging serum invented by the Professor in hopes that growing older will earn respect from the other kids at school, but end up becoming elderly because they consume too much. Though they have gray hair, wrinkles, and other signs of growing old, they remain the same height they were when they were little girls.

Genkai in YuYu Hakusho is a subversion, as flashbacks to her youth show that she's always been short and it's not something caused by old age.

A textbook example of this occurs in the Dexter's Laboratory movie Ego Trip, where child Dexter looks about two feet tall, teenage Dexter has a gangly five- or six-foot frame, Future Badass Dexter looks like an eight foot tall, six-foot-wide musclebound gorilla, and elderly Dexter is a wrinkled little senile prune that's shorter than child Dexter.
Dexter's grandfather isn't much taller than the boy.

Dr. Goodall in Megaman Star Force. She's even shorter than Zack (if you don't count her hair), and he's a middle schooler noted to be short for his age.

Happy Heroes: Downplayed; a recurring elderly lady in a yellow shirt is noticeably shorter than adults younger than her, including 29-year-old Doctor H., but she doesn't deviate from the heights of the other characters too much. It's slightly less downplayed in the seasons after the art shift, which changed the characters to look more lanky but didn't change the elderly lady's height by much.

In the sitcom WKRP in Cincinnati, newsman Les Nessman frequently voices concern over his aged mother's chronic shrinking.
In a later episode, however, we finally see Les's mother, and she's the same height he is (by dint of being played by the same actor), perhaps implying that it's due to Les growing rather than his mother shrinking.
