How long do people continue to grow in height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
End of puberty: F you've completed puberty you aren't likely to grow taller. Girls complete puberty by ages 15 to 17 & for boys it is by ages 16 to 17. However, if one enters puberty late, they will usually also complete it late.
