The nasal height is slightly higher in all the older groups regardless of other conditions, so 

 that a very moderate increase in the dimension with age appears certain. The subnasal portion 

 in the aged has suffered a more marked change in the opposite direction, through absorption of 

 the alveolar processes. The senile reduction of stature and of the subnasal portion of the face, 

 with consequent diminution in the height of the face, are very noticeable, particularly in the old 

 American group of the academicians, and has had its effect on the relative values.
