Probably: Not by much. Your epiphyseal plate fuses at about the age of 25 years stopping growth. But most people complete their growth by age of 18 years

Not much: Judging by your mid parent height, your adult height will range between five ft 7 and five ft 3. You are up at the top of the range we would predict by your genetics! You may get another inch possibly in the next year. Best of Luck and Thanks for using Healthtap!
