Balanced nutrition: At seventeen your growth centers have limited potential for growth and simple measures help the best.Follow a healthy diet, rest and exercise,  but weight lifting will not make you grow taller than your genetic potential.If you want to know how much longer you have to grow, an x-ray of your wrist and hand can be analysed for bone maturity.If close to 17 you have a little left, if like 15 you have mor.

Question 2

till which age height of boy will increase and what should i do to increase my height as i am tok short at age of 17 ..is exercise helpful give me ti?

Accepted Answer

Adult height: With puberty there is a hormone surge (testosterone-boys, estrogen-girls) and this causes a growth spurt, but also closes off the growth plates, which stops growth. Once the growth plates are closed, you cannot grow further. Unless there was delayed puberty, growth plate closure has usually occurred by age 18.  Exercise is always good, and may help you fill out, but will not cause growth.

Question 3

how i increase my height  in 20 age?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely : If you entered puberty the same time as your friends ; your bone maturity is 18 yo or older there is little you can do to increase your height.A single x-ray of your left hand can be assessed for bone maturity.If bony maturity is more like 15 you might grow an additional couple of inches.Medicines won't help if the growth centers are closed/finished.

Question 4

is it. possible to increase height at 18? from years i ve been hearing that height of boys increases till 21.

Accepted Answer

Depends on  bone age: The potential additional length anyone can expect depends on areas in the long bones (arms, legs, fingers)called growth plates. This is where growth occurs and an active open growth plate means more growth is possible. An xray of the hands & wrists can be evaluated for bone maturity since there are many to see. If your bone maturity is average for a 18yo you are done growing taller.

Question 5

girls height will increase till age of ?

Accepted Answer

16 years for most: Most girls, not all, stop growing by about 16 years.  It is more accurate to go by the age of her first period.  They almost always stop growing by 3 years after the date of the first period.

Question 6

i want increase my height at 18 years age?

Accepted Answer

No more growth: You need to come to terms with the fact that you are not going to grow anymore. At 18 , if you get maybe another 1/2 inch of growth, i'd be surprised. Your height is genetically determined, and your bones fuse in males by age18 , meaning no further growth is going to happen. There is no medication, hormone or other internet snake oil  going to give you any more inches. Time to accept this is you!

Question 7

till what age can girls increase there height?

Accepted Answer

Varies: Most girls will be done at 16 but some finish later depending on the status of their growth centers. If open, they can grow more (xrays can verify) in general, they grow 2.5 inches or 5 cm after their first menses.The hormones of puberty send out instructions to the growth centers to finish up.

Question 8

how can i increase height after the age of 20????

Accepted Answer

You cannot: As a 20 year old male, your growth is likely done and your bones growth plates closed.  There are no supplements or hormones you could take that are going to make a difference at this point in time.  You need to accept where you are at and get on with living your life at  your current stature.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Not possible: By age 26 you are well past the point of any additional height. Males usually reach their adult height in the late teenage years.
