Yes but it's probably more like 1-2cm rather than 5.

Akronnick's right.  5 cm ~ 2 in.  None of my shirts would stay tucked in. 

The difference is about 1/2 in, 1 - 2 cm.  And artificial gravity would compress the discs in the spine just as well, unless it was fractional (80%, for example) earth gravity.  Then you'd just get compressed less, standing taller at the end of the day.

Only if you are in zero-G. The station provides near 1G.

Welcome, new person!

That's a good one. The Fanart thread deserves a copy of it.
