Question 1

iam 18 years old can my height increase if so how

Accepted Answer

You might still: grow a little - but it is likely that you have undergone most of your potential growth (unless you entered puberty late). Our height is largely determined by genetics.

Question 2

is royal jelly usefull for height increase ? i am 21 years old ? and how can it take?

Accepted Answer

No: There are no diets, supplements, stretches or other ways to increase your height at age 21. When the growth centers in your bones close after puberty you are done. In women this is usually by age 17.

Question 3

iam 16.5 year old but iam look like 12 or 13 years boy ..my height is 5'4.5 does my height increase further ..

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. One can ask the pediatrician about height, at a check-up or an extra office visit.

Question 4

my age is 22 years.can my height increase after regular exercise & if possible please tell the exercises to be done and is it right  to take medicines?

Accepted Answer

No: Exercise does not increase your height. Height is determined by overall health, nutritional status and genetics.

Question 5

i am 18 years old and my height is 5 foot 4 inch. will my height increase anymore?

Accepted Answer

: Increased height would depend on whether your growth centers remain open. A single x-ray of your wrist/hand could be assessed for growth centers. If open, you grow more if closed you are done. Growth centers an most males close by age 16-18. Expected final height of males is the average of parental height plus 5 cm.

Question 6

my age is 16 years 9 months. my height is 5'5. will my height increase more than this?

Accepted Answer

Maybe. Maybe not.: Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. One can ask the pediatrician about one's growth chart at a check-up or office visit.

Question 7

im so thin. from last many years only my height increase. it looks very bad, my legs are longer than my upper body. plz please help me :(?

Accepted Answer

See an MD: There is a growth spurt around your age when you tend to gain height rather then the weight. See your doctor to make sure you do not have any condition which needs to be addressed.

Question 8

im 17 years 10 months old.my height is 5feet 5.5 inches.my father is 5"5.7 and my mom is 5"3.my elder brother is 5"5.5. so will my height increase?

Accepted Answer

See below: Genetics are a major factor.  For a boy, the projected height is your mother's height, then add 5 inches and average this with your father's height.  But this is plus or minus 8.5 cm.  You can also find your bone age and whether or not you have stopped growing by obtaining an X-ray of your left wrist and hand and having that checked by an expert.  You will never be really tall.

Question 9

hi my son is 14 .9 years his height is 5'4" tall. bone test mentions iliac crest is partuially united with ts counterpart. will his height increase?

Accepted Answer

Probably: The average 15 yo at 5'4" would be expected to grow another 2 inches. A better assessment for growth potential is in the wrist and hand where dozens of growth centers are available for review.

Question 10

are there any other conditions besides acromegaly where adults, 15 years past puberty, have excessive growth hormone? do those cause height increase?

Accepted Answer

Acromegaly: Acromegaly is most commonly associated with excessive growth hormone production and this can continue well past puberty. A consultation with an endocrinologist would be helpful for further advice.
