A member asked:

I am 18 yr old boy.. at what age my height stops..?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most are done at 18: Height continues until the growth centers of the long bones close under the influence of hormones. This is at 17-18 for most males.A few will continue until older but at a very slow pace.
