What's latest age you've seen someone grow taller in height? people say i look bigger.could i be rare exception & be growing @ 36? what's poss cause?

Growth: I don't think you or anyone else is likely to gain any height after age 25. Looking bigger and taller are not the same. If you are gaining weight I recommend you see a specialist about weight gain.
