（单词翻译）

Do feet really get bigger with age?
 
It's certainly possible: After years of wear and tear,tendons and ligaments in your feet may weaken.
 
This can cause arches to flatten1, which means feet get wider and longer.
 
It won't happen to everyone, though—people who are overweight, who get swollen2 feet or ankles, or who have certain medical conditions, like diabetes3, are more prone4.
 
If it does happen, the average gain is about one shoe size byage 70 or 80.
