Growth last year?: If no growth last year, then growth has finished. 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. Aside from eating right (avoid sugar; eat less animal fats), exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person can do to increase the final height.
