Question 1

sir i am  a boy of 18 . my height is 5.6 ft .my body weight is 55 kg . is my height perfect....and  till what age i will grow...

Accepted Answer

Height: At 18 you have probably reached the end of your growth spurt

Question 2

i'm 16 years old boy and my height is 5'5 feet / 167cm i'm really disappointed about it is there a way to increase it and till what age do we grow?

Accepted Answer

Balanced nutrition: At sixteen your growth centers may have some potential for growth and simple measures help the best.Follow a healthy diet, rest and exercise.Meds 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 they have closed you are done/open you can grow more.

Question 3

a 13years old boy with a bone age of 16, can still grow? if yes how much, and a good diet could improve that height gain?

Accepted Answer

Depends : If his growth plates are closed, he's unlikely to grow more. Of his growth plates are open, he will grow more. The x-ray will determine this.

Question 4

sir i'm a boy of 20 my height is 163 cm & weight is 70kg.is my height perfect and till what age i will grow?

Accepted Answer

Growth plates : Every person continues to grow vertically because the growth plates in your long bones are still active and allow you to get taller. The growth plates of most males close up some time around the end of pubescence, about age 20-22. So you may have a little bit of growing yet to do at age 20...

Question 5

i am a boy and i am 20 years old . my father height 6"1.5".my mother is 5'3".but i am 5'8"at the age of 20.i want to grow 6 feet. boys grow till 25?

Accepted Answer

Very unlikely!: You can ask your Dad when he stopped growing but most boys stop growing by the age of 18. The most definitive test is called the "bone age" wherein they X-ray your wrist, hand, and fingers at once and compare it to an atlas of "standards". Your bones lengthen at the ends, not the middle. It will tell you how much potential growth you have left in your skeleton. Also read "Serenity Prayer".

Question 6

i'm a 16y/o boy who is 5'1. i am scared about my height because of prednisone use at age 12-14. my bone age is 15. will i grow any more?

Accepted Answer

Should grow more: Most with a bone maturity of 15 y have at least an inch or two more they will grow. I wouldn't expect six, but you should get some.Expected genetic height ( without prednisone effect) would be the average of your parents plus 2.5 inches +/-.

Question 7

dear madam.
i am a boy and i am 20 years old.my father height 6"1.5".my mother is 5'3".but i am 5'8"at the age of 20.i want to grow 6 feet. when i was?

Accepted Answer

Incomplete question: As written, your statement does not ask a clear question. Your expected final height based on your parents would be 5'10.75 +/- 1 inch. At the age of 20, your growth centers are likely closed and you are as tall as you will ever be. A single x-ray of your wrist/hand could verify any growth potential.

Question 8

at what age boys stop height growth and iam turning 17 can i grow still taller. iam about 5feet 5inches???

Accepted Answer

Depends on variables: Most males finish their growth by age 17-18. Growth centers in the long bones respond to the hormones of puberty by closing at a predictable pace.An x-ray of your wrist and hand can be assessed for growth plates and if more like a 14-15 yo you could expect more growth.If your growth plates have closed, you are done.

Question 9

what age. do fingers stop lengthening and widening ? in teen boys what age do the plates fuse.. also do hands stop growing before height ?

Accepted Answer

Long bone growth: The growth centers in all long bones follow a similar pattern.The growth centers in the hand and wrist are even used to predict when final linear growth is finished. Closure of the growth centers in the wrist/hand is complete in most males at 17-18 with a few lagging behind. When the hand centers are closed, linear growth in the hands and height in general will stop.

Question 10

what is max age till which a boy's height increases?

Accepted Answer

Most stop at 17: Growing bones have plates of new growth located just before the bone ends. These growth plates have less density than bone & show up on xray as a dark line like a crack. As long is there are actine growth plates, there is potential for more growth in that bone. A hand xray is often studied in short kids to see if they have more time to grow. A few grow into their 20's.
