At 16 with a late puberty start and already at 5'7", you have a good chance of reaching 5'9" to 5'11" or possibly taller. A simple way to estimate your genetic potential is the mid-parental height formula: (Father's height + Mother's height + 13cm) ÷ 2, which for you gives approximately 5'10" as your genetic target. Late puberty actually works in your favor â it means your growth plates close later, giving you more time to grow. Most boys who start puberty late continue growing into their late teens, sometimes up to 18-19 years.
Next Steps
Ensure adequate nutrition (protein,
calcium,
Vitamin D), regular physical activity, and good sleep â these are the key factors that support reaching your maximum genetic height potential. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.
