A member asked:
At what age does male height growth halt? whats the latest a mans height will grow?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on family: 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, exercising, sleeping well, and being happy, there's not much a person nor his doctor can do to increase height. In some families, people grow in height until age 20 or 21... so just ask relatives.
