Get well visit exam: A thorough physical exam will uncover what stage of maturity/puberty your body is at. At 16 yrs of age, if you started puberty on time-there is very little height growth anticipated at you current age. Height is usually genetically determined by your parents-with the biggest influence by your father. Increase in height can be enhanced with good sleep, diet, exercise and preventive health.
