A look at when boys stop growing, which happens after puberty has finished. Included is detail on average height and the genetic factors involved.
In general, boys tend to stop growing around the age of 16. Many factors can affect growth and, ultimately, height. These include environmental factors as well as genetics, nutrition, and...
The age when boys stop growing depends largely on their puberty timeline. Experts explain what to expect, plus a few common height prediction methods doctors use.
Getting bigger and taller during puberty is expected, but when do boys stop growing? Generally speaking, boys start showing signs of puberty around 11 or 12 years old, with many finishing puberty about 16 years old.
When do boys stop growing? Most boys will be done growing by age 17 or 18. Learn about when puberty starts in boys, including the boy’s Tanner stages, how the growth spurt unfolds, and when most boys will fully mature.
Growth charts show that most males grow very little after the age of 18. In rare cases, some may continue to grow into their early twenties. At age 16, you can drive a car. At 18, you’re...
While some boys reach their full height at 16, it’s possible to keep growing at 18. 18 years of age is typically when most boys stop growing. Of course, many variables impact when a boy stops growing, including genetics, nutrition, medical history, and puberty.
Boys stop growing in height when their growth plates, or epiphyseal plates, fuse and harden. This biological process typically occurs around 16 to 18 but can vary. Some boys may continue to grow slightly in stature until around the age of 20, albeit at a much slower rate. What Triggers the Biggest Growth Spurt in Boys?
Men usually stop growing after puberty — around the age of 18 — but some may experience spurts until their early 20s. There are several factors that impact male growth and determine their final adult height, including genetics, health during childhood, and hormonal imbalances.
Typically, though, it occurs between 16 and 18 years old. “Boys will stop growing when their growth plates have fused,” says Dr. Jason Klein, a pediatric endocrinologist at Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone.
