4 particular body parts noticeably continue to grow with age regardless of whether or not your weight goes up----nose, ears, feet and hands.

Also why older folks start looking kinda like Yoda, why your shoes get tight as you get older, and why some folks notice that they need larger gloves or that their knuckles are more prominent.
