What is the latest that a growth spurt can happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stage of puberty : This depends on pubertal development. Some may have a delay in pubertal development which could lead to a growth spurt later in adolescence. Others may have an earlier puberty and stop growing sooner. The average girl is done growing between 15-16. The average boy is done growing around age 17 or so.
