A member asked:
One of your doctors said bone plates do not completely close until age 30. does that mean i can still grow taller in height until age 30?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: that is inaccurate. While everyone is slightly different, most women reach their full adult height in their teenage years. By age 30 you have reached full adult height
