How many centimetres do people normally grow in a year?

Answer 1

On average, children grow about 5 to 6 centimeters (2 to 2.5 inches) per year during their primary growth years, which typically occur between ages 2 and puberty. During puberty, growth rates can increase significantly, with some adolescents growing 10 to 15 centimeters (4 to 6 inches) in a year. After puberty, growth usually slows down, and most people do not grow significantly in height after their late teens. Individual growth can vary widely based on genetics and other factors.
