Question 1

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 2

how to increase height for boys?

Accepted Answer

Good diet: Taking a multivitamin and mineral supplement and eating a healthy diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables is important. Also getting regular exercise can be helpful. After the bones fuse at 16-17 years old there is no further increase in height.

Question 3

hello doctor hope you are fine..doctor i have a problem i want to increase height naturally..i m 22 yrs old..i am very tense about my height?

Accepted Answer

Sorry: By 22 years old, the long bone growth plates are closed. Can only rely on platforms/heels to get taller. More important to accept you as you are--will reflect in how you interact daily with others.

Question 4

is it possible to increase height after the age of 20?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely - puberty: Most males stop growing taller by around age 18 and for most girls it is around 16 to 17 years old. However, this varies – especially if the person entered puberty late. If you began puberty at an older age  - there is a possibility.

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 no special diet  or exercise will alter 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 more.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Not likely possible: If you have finished your pubertal development you have likely reached your adult height.  Most people finish the vast majority of their linear growth (in height) during their mid to late teenage years. But you can always give an appearance of being taller by having good posture. Stand tall!
