A member asked:

I m 19 year old boy and my height is 5.5 foot. will my height increase and what can i do to increase my height?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Accept your size: At 19 your growth centers are most likely closed & no further growth is likely. If growth centers are open (xray of hand can tell) you might grow more but at 19 this is unlikely. There is no magic exercise or diet to grow taller. Taller kids have taller parents.
