A member asked:
Will late bloomers receive any growth spurts?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Why yes!: Late bloomers are often blessed with a longer and later growth spurt. Keep in mind your genetic height from your two parents. Final height is determined primarily by genetics. Be sure and get plenty of calcium in your diet with 3 to 4 servings a day! One Milk/One Cheese/One yogurt is one way to think about it.

Depends: If they are late bloomers they would tend to enter puberty with less intensity & prolong the process from start to finish. An x-ray of the wrist/hand can identify "bone age" which is might show a BA of 14 in a 18 yo late bloomer. If the growth centers are open they can continue to grow until they close.If you are just hoping for more growth & the growth centers are closed you are done.
