Hii can height increase after age 21
Asked by Sakshi Last Modified
Answer 
The growth plate closes by the age 18 and in some rare cases upto 20. This doesn't mean you should loose hope. You can see a bit of change in your height by correcting your posture if you have any postural problem or by keeping your self in a lean physic. In the end if you stay healthy and look aesthetically good then height is just secondary.

So naturally for most people its a No, you cannot increase height after 21, although you can do some posture corrections and appear at your peak height that is one natural way.
The reason is the height increase observed during growing age is an outcome of our growth plates getting fused together. On an avg 90% of people achieve their max height growth between age of 16-20 and post this height doesnt increase naturally.
In your teenage having a good nutrition and exercise routine aids in attaining max height available in the genetic potential, one's height is purely dependent on genetics and their way of living during their growin age.
