A member asked:
Could body hair signal the end of height growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: Increasing body hair is derived from hormonal influences of the adrenal glands. It may precede the onset of puberty by a year or more in some kids. As puberty progresses, the amount of body continues to increase.Since its onset and expression is so variable, i find it a poor indicator of when or if further growth will occur.
