Accepted Answer

Exercise, eat, sleep: 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.

In rare cases, growth hormone is approved for use in younger, extremely short kids.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

: Usually taking a simple X-ray of a long bone growth plate will tell you immediately if growth is still available if the growth plates are open

Question 10

i am currently 19 and feel as if i have been the same height since i was 14. i think i may have hit puberty a little late as i did not ejaculate from masturbation until the end of 8th grade when i was about 14. is it still possible to grow taller?

Accepted Answer

Maybe/not: Height growth stops when the growth plates of bones close. An x-ray of your wrist/hand could verify their status/potential for more growth. In males most close by ~17-18. Failure to grow more than an inch in the past year suggests you are at or near the end. Once the growth plates close there is nothing you can do to increase height.
