its different for each person as ther genetic make ups are not the same, apparently ur adult height will be double the height u were when u were 2 years old give or take 2 inches either way, so i f u know that u will be able to work out yr approx adult height without having to wait and see!

Actually it really depends on the person. Depending on what "expert" you ask... some say 15 for women, some 18, and some even 21...As for men they also have different opinions. However, I heard of a football player who, once he got adequate nutrition, grew 4 inches over a series of 4 years...So you can't always believe what you hear. But, I think you pretty much know when your height does not change.

nicely they say that doubling the dimensions of a toddler at 2 years old is assume to be the height of the fellow even as they grow to be an individual, yet that is an old different halves tale. i doesn't complication about it. when you're truly in touch, ask a wellbeing care professional.

I think most growing for both sexes stops at 16.

girls usually start to grow earlier & stop growing around 16, while boys start growing later & can grow up til they're around 19......
