A member asked:
My elder brother 5 years elder to me is 181 cm, while i am 172 cm. as per birth order i should be taller. 18 male, is there any problem in my growth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal height: For children of the same gender born to the same parents a difference of up to 8 inches (20 cm) is entirely normal. At 18 you are also likely done with your height growth so examinations of reasons for shorter than expected stature would not be helpful.
