I have slightly bow legges.im just 18 years old.when i'm become older(after 30) can my height be decrese because of the bow legges?

No. Slightly bowed legs (genu varum) will not progress given a healthy diet. However, most everyone loses some height with age due to gravity’s effects on the vertebral column usually amounting to less than an inch.

Discuss an Orthopedic referral with your PCP. Passive and active exercise may be beneficial. Your adult stature is affected.
