A member asked:
Is it true your spine can still grow in your mid 30s & actually add a couple of inches to your height? wondering if that's why my shirts seem shorter.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spine growth: Our spine ceases growth by age 16-18 years . So un likely additional height is coming from your spine. There r some unusual cases where the growth plates in the legs don't stop until age 20-21
