I understand your concern about your height Even with a healthy diet, most people?s height won?t increase after age 18 to 20. The reason why your height stops increasing is your bones, specifically your growth plates. The growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, are areas of specialized cartilage near the end of your long bones. Increases in height are primarily due to the lengthening of your long bones, as the growth plates are still active or ?open.? Near the end of puberty, hormonal changes cause the growth plates to harden or ?close? and the lengthening of bones to stop. Growth plates close around age 16 in women and somewhere between ages 14 and 19 in men.
