How to know if i will grow to at least 6 foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
X-rays: Height is determined by the length of the long bones in the leg and the spine. X-rays will show if the growth plates are still open and give a general idea of how much growth is left. Males usually stop growing for height by age 18, females by 16-17. After age 25 there is no remaining growth in the skeleton.
