Apologies if this may seem like an insensitive question but, I have seen quite a few elderly people walking around Taipei with really bad back deformities, as in, bent over double. Now I thought this was a natural, birth defect at first until last week when I saw two walking along pushing a sort of cart.
Basically I’m curious, is this back problem caused by them spending their entire lives working pushing carts around or, is it a birth defect and the old people just find work pushing carts because they’re sorted to it?
My wife says because people won’t eat cheese or drink milk here, a friend says is vitamin D deficiency because people refuse to get sun light, I say people here leave longer so this is how really really old old people look like.
