Accepted Answer

: You can but no one can tell you for certain. The real giants can get to seven feet or more. Google acromegaly to see the problems they haven’t and why they die early. As yogi Berra said:  it is hard to make predictions. Especially about the future. ;-). Let us know how tall you get and good stretching. Icy don’t make 6 feet blame you genes and how you feed them.

Question 2

my son is worried of his height. he took a tanner stage calculator test that says he is currently in tanner stage 4.3. his dad checked to be sure. i am 5'6.5" and my husband is 5'7.5". he is 13.6 yo. he is 5'6" (growth spurt at 12) how tall can he be?

Accepted Answer

: Most children will approximate the height of their same gendered parent as an adult. Children can grow taller if their opposite gender parent or other genetic relatives are taller than their same gender parent. Nutritional considerations such as good protein intake and lack of disease/infections will maximize your height. Boys typically finish growing around age 17.

Question 3

i am 16 and 2 months and i am 5'10" , my mom is 5'4.5 but my dad is not in the picture.
according to tanner stage calculator on web i am in tanner stage 5. can i grow to 5'11" by the age of 18? (i was 1.74-1.76 when i was 15)?

Accepted Answer

: Most children will approximate the height of their same gendered parent as an adult. Without knowing your dad's height, it is difficult to determine. Nutritional considerations such as protein intake and lack of disease/infections will maximize your height. Boys typically finish growing around age 17 when their bone growth plates start fusing.

Question 4

i used  a tanner test calculator in the site, growing up boys. in the first attempt, i found i am at tanner 5. i got really confused. i did the test a?

Accepted Answer

Sounds right: For your age that sounds about right! At your age it's hard not compare your level of development to your peers, but just realize this is a tool for physicians to assess developmental progress!  Thanks for putting your trust in Healthtap!

Question 5

when do boys get their growth spurt, tanner stage 3 or 4?

Accepted Answer

It depends: There are many variables. There is no one right answer.

Question 6

when do males grow their fastest (growth spurt), at tanner stage 3 or 4?

Accepted Answer

Stage IV: Most of the boys have their peak height velocity (growth spurt) at age 14, .

Question 7

tanner stage 4 at 20 years old. normal or late? i feel like i look 15 down there.

Accepted Answer

Typically the 5: Tanner stages that describe sexual development in puberty end at about age 15. You're right, Tanner stage 4 usually represents a 13-14 year old. Incomplete development of secondary sexual characteristics in males usually results from inadequate testosterone secretion which is most often caused by a defect in the pituitary hormone which stimulates the testicle. See an Endocrinologist.Good wishes

Question 8

i am 14 and i am tanner stage 3.5 or 3.6 (not sure) what will happen in this stage of puberty and what is gonna happen from now on to the end?

Accepted Answer

Normal for age: At this stage of puberty your body shows features of a developing young man, i. e., appearance of some facial and armpit hair, pubic hair, acne, voice changes, mild increase in size of penis and scrotum, ability to "ejaculate" (produce semen) as evidenced by occasional "wet dreams" , etc. These trends continue gradually from here on until almost full sexual maturity by age 16-18.

Question 9

hi i am 16 years old and i started my adolescence at age 12 and i think i will end it by 17. i wanted to know how much more growth is left in me? i am i tanner stage 5 i guess and my height is 175 cm or 5 9?

Accepted Answer

: The best way to verify further height potential is an x-ray of your wrist/hand. There are growth plates at the ends of the bones that close at various times and if open here it can help predict further growth. If closed you are done. If you grew less than 2.5cm in the past year you are near the end/more than 5 cm you may grow taller.

Question 10

is there a growth spurt during the fourth tanner stage?

Accepted Answer

: Male growth varies with ethnic/genetic factors within "Tanner" stages. In general, continuation of a 2-3'/yr is seen rather than an acceleration or "spurt". Once the growth rate slows to 1" or less/r it signals the end of this process. A more dependable way to predict growth potential is examination of growth centers in an x-ray of the wrist/hand.
