Men typically stop growing in height after puberty, which usually occurs around the age of 18. This is when the growth plates (areas of cartilage near the ends of long bones) fuse, marking the end of vertical growth. However, some men may continue to grow slightly in their early 20s, with growth spurts occasionally happening until around age 21 to 22. After this, it is very unlikely for men to grow taller since the growth plates close permanently. Growth beyond the early 20s is rare and usually minimal. In summary:
- Most men stop growing around 18 years old.
- Some may grow a little until their early 20s, up to about 21-22 years.
- After early 20s, growth in height essentially stops due to growth plate fusion.
This growth pattern can vary due to genetics, health, hormonal factors, and overall development during adolescence.
