A member asked:
A 13years old boy with a bone age of 16, can still grow? if yes how much, and a good diet could improve that height gain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : If his growth plates are closed, he's unlikely to grow more. Of his growth plates are open, he will grow more. The x-ray will determine this.
