There is no exact age at which human
beings stop growing in height. But in
cases of women once they attain
puberty between ages 14 to 16, they
dont grow any more. In case of men
they hardly grow in height after attaining 20 to 22 years. The articles
speaks about the age when human
beings tentatively stop growing in
height. Human beings are known to grow in
height right from birth to around 20 to
22 years. Although growth of human
beings is dependent on many factors
like gene, weather conditions, food and
health conditions, but biologically men grow taller than women.There are
certain reasons for the difference in
height. Women stop growing in height
after 15 to 16 years because after
puberty the long bones stop growing in
height due to closing of epiphyseal plates. Besides the effect of endocrine
glands have function in respect of
determining of height of human beings.
Sometimes over-secretion or under-
secretion can lead to gigantism or
dwarfism.Again the mean heights of different races all over the world differ.
Asians don’t grow as taller as the
Europeans. So part of the reasoning
relating to growth in height is
dependant on the gene of the
parents.Growth plates are the joints which facilitate growth and are located
in both the wrists and the knees.
Whenever human beings sleep, the
growth hormones help them to grow
more than when they are awake. But
the growth actually takes place through the growth plates. But as the growth
hormone stops helping men or women
to grow more than nothing can be
done. The lower body stops growing in
height before the upper body because
they have solid bones which don’t allow growth once fused. Where as the
upper part of the body is formed of
cartilages and bones so the growth
stops later.Generally the age where
women stop growing in height is 15 to
16 years, while in case of men it is 20 to 22 years. But there is no strict age as
such. Sometimes stretching exercises
like swimming, cycling enhances
growth, but that too during the growth
age, definitely not after 25 years of
age.Sometimes people who are unsatisfied with their height go on to
have surgical operations to enhance
height after 22 years. They undergo
breaking of the legs and pulling them
apart and bolts are drilled into the
bones which take time to get set inside the body. The entire procedure is very
painful and problematic.Besides there
are pilates exercises which are complex.
These are very difficult and require the
supervision of medical experts. With
these exercise human beings can add half or one inch to their original height
even after attaining 25 years of age.
Instead of doing all those human beings
should be satisfied with the height they
attain genetically till 22 years of age. For more questions, any help or advices
