Can i increase my height at the age of 20? my fathers height is 5.7 and mine is 5.3.. how to activate growth fusion plates ?

Open growth plates: You can only grow taller if growth plates are open, which is very unlikely at your age. However, for definitive answer, get bone age study (not bone density). If growth plates are still open, then you may grow a bit taller. There's no way to "activate" your growth plates.
