Growth with a bonge age of 15.5

Growth with a bonge age of 15.5

Im 15.9 years old I have a bone age of 15.5, I am 190cm I am wondering if I will be able to hit 6ft 6 (198cm) with the use of anti estrogen and stretching techniques, would this be possible with the stage my growth plates are at? Also what bone age do your growth plates fuse?

Hello!

The long bones fuse at the age of 20 years in males and around 19 years in females and it is possible to grow in length further from your present age and height.

You height is determined primarily with the genetic inheritance you had from your parents and fore fathers.

The other factor is your endocrine hormones like growth factors etc. and proper diet and exercise.

I would suggest you to follow up with an endocrinologist and take it forward and do not self medicate.

Take care!
