The time it takes for growth plates to close varies from person to person and can depend on a variety of factors, including genetics, gender, and overall health. In general, girls' growth plates tend to close around the ages of 14-16, while boys' growth plates typically close around the ages of 16-18. However, this is just a general guideline and individual cases can vary.
Once the growth plates have closed, it is not possible to increase height through natural means. It is important to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, which can support overall bone health and potentially maximize your height potential while the growth plates are still open.
