At what age do you consider the average human body to be fully grown?

Question by XOXOXO: At what age do you consider the average human body to be fully grown?
Fully grown as in true adulthood, grown to its maximum potential, stopped growing or very little growth

Things to consider: Brain, Bones, Height, Muscles, Weight, Immune System, Hormones, metabolism...

My guess would be around 25-30. How about we hear from a biologist?


Best answer:

Answer by The Blaze
Human Males usually stop developing around the age of 28, while Human Females tend to stop at 25 (in brain I'm not sure about much else for the human female)



What do you think? Answer below!

  1. Um, well size wise, I have been the same height and weight since I was 12 years old and now I am 19. But brain development mostly finishes in one's twenties. Muscles are never done growing, and pretty much everything on this lit can and will adapt and change through one's lifetime.

  2. Sorry, not a biologist just a nurse. Generally in your early to mid 20's is when your structure has fully developed. Your muscles, weight, immune system, hormones, metabolism and especially your brain continue to change with your activity levels throughout your life...remember that, because if you allow your structure to be idle everything else will become idle and your structure will begin to collapse and in fact shrink. The body does get shorter later in life but it is due to normal wear and tear on the body & it's connective parts. There are rare syndromes/disorders though that can cause a person to continually grow to enormous height. These are generally associated with other signs that are observed & addressed at a young age although there is very little done to stop this growth process and it is a debilitating disease and these persons tend to have shorter than normal life spans. If you are tall...walk proud with your shoulders back and a focused mind...height is a wonderful thing enjoy it.
