Question:
Am I finished growing in height? I took the Tanner Stage Calculator and it says stage 3.8/4. I’m currently 165 cm (5’5″) and I’d like to be taller.
Answer:
You don’t stop growing in height until you reach stage 5. During stage 4, your rate of growth slows down until it reaches 0 at the start of stage 5. For girls, stage 4 typically lasts about 1.5 years. During that time the average girl puts on another 2.5 to 5.25 cm (1 to 2 inches).
