I m not able to understand that. One doctor is saying that the growth of height stops at the age of 21 years and an another doctor is saying that height stops in girls at 18years & in boys 20years. Which doctor is saying correct. I want an expert advice.

Even I cant understand what you want to understand .Increase in height is attributed to the production of growth hormone, called the HGH( Human Growth Hormone), which is secreted by the pituitary gland called the master gland of our body.It is rather difficult to increase height after reaching adulthood as the production of these hormones slowly stops.In females the production of these hormone stops earlier a compared to males and thats the reason why height top in girls earlier than boys.I think now you got the point.
