A member asked:

My daughter is nearly 16 years old and she has insecurities about her height.she's now 170 cm.she thinks she's too tall. will she grow taller or not?can you guess how many centimeters will she gain if the answer is yes?(she started her period 13)

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should be done: Linear growth is complete when the bones growth centers close. This is usually at 15-16 in girls or 3 yr after menses starts. A simple x-ray of her wrist.hand can show if more growth is left when analysed for bone maturity. It may be of little comfort now but she could pass her height to her kids & the boys would be happy. This was my mom's height.
