Can a 19-year-old who is 160cm tall still grow taller?

Patient's question:

This year, a 19-year-old male hasn't grown taller since elementary school and has always been known for being extremely thin. At 18, he was the thinnest, weighing only 80 pounds. Is this due to malnutrition? What can be done to remedy this now?

Doctor's answer:

You are still relatively young in terms of your current age. Don't worry, you still have the opportunity to grow taller. It's recommended that you try to be more active. Activities like playing basketball can help with growth. If you are thin, it's mainly due to poor digestive system. It's suggested that you can try traditional Chinese medicine regulation. For dietary therapy, it's recommended that you can eat more foods like yam when you have the chance. The above is advice for the question "Can I still grow taller at 19 years old and 160cm?" It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wish you health!
