A member asked:

I am 17 years old and 59, my dad is 60 and all my male family members are above 511. will i be taller o is m growth done?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Expectations: The expected final height of males is the average of BOTH parents plus 2.5". You don't mention your mothers height, which contributes 1/2 your genetic makeup. Most males stop growing taller at 17-18. A single x-ray of your wrist/hand would show if your growth plates are open & more height is possible. If closed you are done.
