A member asked:
Can you please specifically list all conditions or diseases that can result or bring on added inches of growth in height in adults years past puberty?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Growth: I am not aware of any. Once the growth plates in the bones have fused, you're done. Keep in mind that there are variations between AM and PM based on separation of your vertebrae, and of course there can be errors in measurement.
