A member asked:
If someone went thru puberty but growth plates never closed, would their height keep growing even in 30s or 40s or would it stop earlier @ some point?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doesn't happen: Puberty ends with the growth plates closing. The hormones that push to full pubertal changes signal the bones to finish.
