Positives are easier: The factors that support the best possible growth are good health, proper nutrition and exercise and proper sleep.If you are not doing these, it hurts. Males generally stop growing about 17, when there growth centers close.An x-ray of your wrist/hand can be analysed for chance of more growth.If the growth centers are closed, you are done.
