      I am actually the short one in my family most of my Male relatives including my father, grandfathers, and brothers are taller than I am. I stopped growing taller when I was 13 which might contribute to this difference(1-3 inches) the good thing is I don't actually want to get any taller.

      @@jorbanana5412 I'd say the cap is only determined when it has been "reached," i.e. when your height is -on avarage- stopped growing. In other words, it's quite literally the peak of a situation, in which you don't know how much or when it will be prior to it. At least this is what I thought when I read the comment.

    I'm an adult male and 5'6. However, I'm not unaffected by my short stature. Yes, gaining a few extra inches would be cool but on the contrary I can easily snuggle into tight spaces, shop into teen's sections, have ample flight legroom and so on. Yes, I've been bullied for my height but I just realized that there are somethings that we can't change and some people will always point it out, no matter how obvious it is. So short guys out there, don't be afraid, work hard and attain success so that people no more lookout for your height.

      It's Okay To Be Smart Nor I, but the genetics are pretty interesting, from what I have read. For example, there is an important gene on the X chromosome, but autosomal genes are also involved. This complexity explains, for example, why Patrick Stewart and Bruce Willis balded at different ages.

      male pattern baldness*+Josh* (and i don't have it, just to be clear) i thought the other major factor was the presence of high/higher male hormones, isn't it so.
      like my kid cousin, whom i've literally cared for back when he was an infant.. started looking like you avataar (receding hairline) when in his twenties and now also has thinning at the crown.
      i've seen similar things happen to other cousin/friends who are fools who ingest all kinds of excrement powders and shakes in the name of 'gym' 'body building'.
      although i've a fairly high libido drive, since i haven't yet started loosing as much hair..i assumed i've lower testosterone/
      then again, i've (initially family, then by choice) refined white flour >> maida en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maida_flour
      and not into too much snacks, junk food.
      obviously not a pizza burger guy, having been a desi at heart even when not in the subcontinent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/desi
      fairly good food habits, being blessed with (born in) a decent home/family that provided for us, managing stress well and keeping it low.. apart from lifestyle choices (say: no meat/fish eggs, being teetotaller) too helped i think (in only having grey hair and not yet male pattern baldness).

So pretty much my diet was awful and had no nutritious value but by 10 years old I was eating evrything i could get my hands on pretty much eating like 5000 calories per day to accommodate the growth I was going to acquire.

      people don’t understand what this video is saying tho. When they say your environment affects your height it means if you don’t eat right or don’t sleep enough you’ll be shorter than your genetics predetermined you to be not that if you eat and sleep well then you’ll be 6ft +. You can’t sleep,excercise or stretch your way to be tall lol but if you don’t eat right or exercise or sleep then you’ll stunt your growth and won’t reach your GENETIC potential.

    Summary:
    Height depends both on your environment and diet(nature) and on your genetics as well (nuture) but we can’t really conclude that genes 100% control height since not all genes in our body are discovered and for now scientists have concluded that 86% of genes contribute to height variation but we’ve only discovered 27% of those genes.
    Conclusion: height depends on both your environment and genetics and not just genetics overall.

    I think genetics have a role in maximum height potential. Where as environment, diet, bone development, etc. All collectively play a big role. I was expected to be 5'9 by the doctor when I was a kid. And in high school that was true. I was 5'9 from freshmen to senior year and then my 2nd year in college had another growth spurt and grew to 6'1. I come from a very poor family so had to eat the bare minimum my entire life until I got a job and paid for my own food. I also worked out more consistently, and made stretching an important routine as well all during those first 2 years of college.

    I would say genetics play a part as well as diet. I used to be around 5'6 when I was 14. My cousing who is 7 months younger than me was only 5'1. After that I moved out for the studies and he stayed back. He used to take proper diet where as I got hung on junk food, stopped playing sports entirely etc. He ended up being 6'2. I ended up being 5'10. I wish I could go back and live a more active life style which would have made me physically become the best I could have been.

Avoid Alcohol at all costs l, how tempting it might be. That is a huge contributor towards me putting up a lot of belly fat. Continue playing sports.
