Girls usually stop growing height at about 18 years old.

There are epiphyses at both ends of long bones, which are key parts of bone growth. With age, epiphyses gradually close, once closed, bones basically stop vertical growth, height is difficult to increase. Girls generally in late adolescence, usually around 18 years old, estrogen levels are relatively stable, the process of epiphysis line closure accelerates, height growth gradually stops.

Lifestyle such as sleep and exercise can also affect height. Adequate sleep contributes to the secretion of growth hormones, and appropriate exercise can stimulate bone growth. However, even if the lifestyle is healthy, girls will naturally stop growing at a certain stage. It

should be noted that growth and development vary from girl to girl, and the specific age at which height growth stops may vary. If there are doubts or concerns about height development, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor for relevant evaluation and diagnosis.
