A member asked:
Till what age can males grow taller? is it possible to grow taller even after the age of 21 for boys ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely to happen: Some kids continue to grow taller into their late teens or rarely early twenties but only when their bone maturity lags behind their age. If the growth centers of the long bones have fused, you cannot grow taller. A single x-ray of the wrist & hand can yield a bone maturity. When you have reached bony maturity, you are done.
