A member asked:
Is it true that a girls become taller between the ages 14 and 18?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: Yes a growth spurt will generally occur after puberty and may go beyond the age of 18 as long as the growth plates do not close. So typically yes for males and females after puberty you gain height. Has to do with genetics and nutrition too.
