A member asked:
After about how many years of no noticeable growth or height change can you pretty much assume growth in height has stopped and bones have all fused?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Age 17: Most people's growth plates have fused by age 17 or 18. A year or two earlier for girls. After that there is little change in height.
