A member asked:
Can a man grow taller at the age of 26? i haven't been to my dr to have my height measured, but noticed length of pants too short over the last 6month

Unlikely.: In general, no. The growth plates in men are usually fused by around the age of 18, limiting further vertical growth.

No: You can only grow taller when your growth centers are still open. These close in men between 16-18 in most, 20 in a few. An x-ray of the wrist/hand can verify growth center status. When these are closed, nothing makes you grow taller.
