Girls typically stop growing in height between the ages of 16 and 20. The exact timing depends on the individual’s skeletal maturity: if epiphyseal growth plates close early, growth may cease around age 16; if closure occurs later, growth may continue until approximately age 20. During this period, maintaining adequate nutrition is important—supplementing with calcium, for example, may support optimal height development.
