People say that height continues till 21 for male.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most done by 18: Linear growth can continue until the growth centers of the log bones have closed. For most males this stops at 17-18.In a few this can remain open longer, but growth is generally slowing. An x-ray of the wrist and hand can identify representative growth centers and redict the remaining growth potential.
