Girls experience a significant growth spurt between the ages of 10 and 14, coinciding with puberty. Most girls reach their adult height by age 14 or 15.
Understanding Girls' Height Growth
This period of rapid growth is a key part of puberty, a time of significant physical and emotional changes. The growth spurt is driven by hormonal changes within the body.
- Puberty: The onset of puberty varies, but the growth spurt typically falls within the 10-14 age range.
- Adult Height: While most girls reach their adult height by 14 or 15, some may continue to grow slightly into their late teens.
Factors Affecting Height Growth
While the typical age range is 10-14 for the major growth spurt, several factors influence individual growth:
- Genetics: Family history plays a significant role in determining adult height.
- Nutrition: Proper nutrition is crucial for optimal growth during puberty.
- Health: Underlying health conditions can impact growth.
