A boy's cessation of height growth is indicated by no significant increase in height over the past two years, with clothes and shoes still fitting well. Secondary male characteristics have become evident, such as a prominent Adam's apple, deeper voice, and increased body hair. If examined at a正规 hospital, it would be found that the growth plates (epiphyseal lines) have completely closed. It is recommended that children currently in their growth and development stage enhance their nutritional intake and engage in regular physical exercise, which may help promote height growth.
