What causes that stoop in old folk where their head and neck are permanently bent forward?

Old timer here: I keep a pair of two-pound barbells in my recliner and use them at least once an hour for every hour I sit in that chair. This approach is based on research done at Mayo Clinic that is referred to as “fidget exercise.” I can get my heart rate up in no time, and I keep it up for at least a minute. If I do it two minutes an hour, 12 times a day, my heart rate gets where it needs to be, my muscles stay tight, and I work up a sweat. Follow it up with pressing and stretching my spine into the back of the chair, and I’m relaxed and strong.
