HEIGHT: Not necessarily. An individual's height depends on genetics and nutrition. An individual has potential for increase in height as long as the long bone growth plates have not fused or closed.

Can do opposite: The final height is based on genetic factors and modified by your health.Proper diet, rest and exercise aids it while the opposite can hurt. The hormones that trigger puberty also signal the growth spurt and final closure of the growth centers.Some that enter puberty early will finish/stop sooner.An x-ray of the wrist/hand can identify any remaining growth potential.
