A member asked:
I turned 16 a few months ago, my height is 5.10 and i only recently passed my father will i grow any taller ? (my mother is average height)

Any growth last yr.?: If there was some growth in the past 6-12 months, then there should still be some growing left. If no growth in the past year, then growth has finished. One's pediatrician tracks annual heights on the growth chart. Most people reach their maximum height in their late teens. Without nutritional problems or chronic childhood illnesses, height is largely based on genetics and parental heights.
