Height is primarily determined by genetics and most vertical growth stops once growth plates fuse, typically between the ages of 16 and 20. So, **does your body grow after 20**? For the vast majority of people, the answer is no, but your body undergoes many other significant changes.

While peak height is typically reached by the end of puberty, research shows that other significant changes, such as bone density and brain maturation, continue well into your twenties. Understanding whether your body is still growing at 20 requires looking beyond just height to other aspects of development.
