A member asked:
I'm 16 and 5,8. my mom is 5,7 and my dad is 6,2. do you think i'll reach my father's height?

Maybe. Ask your Dr.: Your Dr. tracks your annual height increase on a graph. If it hasn't flattened out, and is still rising, there is still more growth to come. Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Height is largely based on genetics and parental heights. Aside from eating right, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person can do to increase his final height.

My niece said shes concerned; 15 years old, her height had been 52 (158cm) since shes 14. She grew a little during August 2021 and havent grow any taller since then. Her mom is 161cm and father is 172cm. How likely can she still grow?
