Hello, thanks for the query. A person's general growth and height in particular depend on heredity. If parents are of good height, then invariably the children also get good height. Usually height grows up to the age of 18 to 19 years, that is till the long bones (femur, tibia and fibula as well as humorous, radius & ulna) grow. After that their growing ends fuse and no further length increases. So height of a person grows up to the age of 19 years. Hence, you do have enough time. Proper nutrition and good exercise will help in getting the goal that you are expecting. Thanks.
