A member asked:
My 22 year old sister has been the same height for the last six years. is it likely that she is done growing if she hasn't grown during that time?

Yes: Women usually stop within 3 years of first menses or around 16-17.Failing to grow for at least a year indicates the growth centers have closed and no further growth is possible.
