A doctor has provided 1 answer
Age? Gender?: The age & gender are necessary to know in order to answer your question. Males grow later than females. Females have shorter growth time. Once a female has her period, growth will cease within two years. Males can grow into their late teens or 20. Growth is also remarkably hereditary, the rate & extent of growth being inherited. Diseases (kidney, etc) can play a role in growth, as well.
