What would cause an adult to grow approx. 2 inches taller in height at age 35? dont have acromegaly, so are there other conditions, etc. that would cause added height? there was no change in height from 20-35. or is it not poss. to grow at 35?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No. The most common cause for such an event is mistaken measurements.
