A member asked:

Hi doctor ! i just want to ask u if i am 16 years old and i am 187 cm tall how many cms will i gain more ? and till whick age i will grow taller ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Variable: Everyone grows at different age, but in males harder to predict because in females its usually 2 inches after they start their periods but in males it is very variable. As long as you are eating well and staying healthy you will grow to what your genetic potential dictates. Stay healthy!
