Till what age do u keep growing in height?!


Question: Till what age do u keep growing in height!?
Answers:
The height that you achieve depends on several factors: 1) The genes you inherit from your parents; 2) The age you enter puberty (when you start to develop sexually); 3) the age you have your first period (if you're a girl); and 3) your general health!. If you have a chronic disease, for example, this will affect your height!. Most young women achieve their full height within 12 to 18 months after their first period!. (around 16 years old) Most young men tend to stop growing at the end of puberty when they begin to shave regularly!. (around 18 years old)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Growth stops when the ends of the long bones permanently fuse into bone (fusion of the epiphyses)!. The time at which this occurs can vary a lot from one person to the next!. In girls, the fastest growth occurs right before menarche (their first menstrual period) and then slows dramatically!. Boys don't grow as fast but continue to grow for a longer period!. Most girls are at their final heights in their mid-teens, although both sexes can grow very slowly into their early twenties (only about an extra inch or so)!.

The same hormones that cause rapid growth also cause growth to stop sooner, so taking hormones to grow taller can very easily backfire!. For the same reasons, someone who shoots up very quickly as a pre-teen or early teen might stop growing very soon, and someone who is still short at 13 might continue to grow longer, and both groups end up being quite normal in height at the end!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
