But this habit can cause us pain in the neck, shoulders and the lower back. Worse still, this posture (姿态) may also make us age more quickly.The most common change in posture as we age is that our bodies gradually return to the foetal (胎儿的) position: the head and shoulders move forwards, the chest curls inwards and the spine (脊柱) goes from a healthy Scurve to a less healthy Cposition.The main cause of this is weak abdominal (腹部的) muscles from years of sitting in a hunched position, according to Carolyn Hewison, physiotherapy manager for the Nuffield chain hospitals group.“If you look around, you see many people over 50, particularly women, who are starting to develop this stance (姿态)，” Hewison told the Daily Mail early this month.Hewison suggests standing up straight several times a day with your back to the wall, heels against the skirting board (踢脚线) and your shoulders and head touching the wall to encourage better posture.“Try to maintain the position as you walk away，” she says. “The more often you do this, the more accustomed our abdominal and back muscles become to providing the necessary support.”Besides bad posture, another cause of weak abdominal muscles is sarcopenia (肌肉减少症) a gradual loss in muscle mass. According to research, from the age of 25 we all lose an average of a fifth of every 450 grams of muscle each year.There is no means of preventing it completely, but latest research suggests the best preventative measure is doing regular weight training to keep up muscle strength.Osteoporosis (骨质疏松) also contributes to the problem, according to Tom Crisp, a sports expert and lower back expert at the Barbican BUPA medical center, London.However, “you can lessen the risk of getting a hump (驼背) just by being active from as young an age as possible to slow the rate of bone loss linked to osteoporosis，” Crisp said.4.

What does the underlined word “this” refer to in Paragraph 3?A The change in posture. B Years of bad posture while sitting.C Weak abdominal muscles.
