Can someone explain if the science on this Vid that growth plates never close is true?

[ElBastardo]

I watched this video that says that the growth plates never close and you can increase height at any age. Didn't know ifi t was legit or not. Wanted opinions.

Lies Spread By The Jews JFL I’ll leave you this chart from ‘White et al (2012) Human Osteology’ where it depicts some bones and its age of closure.

DNW but I always wondered how Robert Wadlow continued growing in his late twenties (age 26-27)
On wiki it says because of his excess HGH

but HGH shouldn't cause that kind of growth when there are no growth plates

Actually that's a really good point. There are people who continued to grow due to acromegaly at later ages.

Acromegaly is a rare condition where the body produces too much growth hormone, causing body tissues and bones to grow more quickly.

Over time, this leads to abnormally large hands and feet, and a wide range of other symptoms.

Acromegaly is usually diagnosed in adults aged 30 to 50, but it can affect people of any age. When it develops before the end of puberty, it's known as "gigantism"

Acromegaly

if it is diagnosed aged 30 to 50, it must still cause height growth at that age.

Most post can get 1 inch with posture and improving back muscles some 2 depending on how phyiscally inactive you are but this is not growing its more so that your spine was compressed naturally

Wait you can grow your hands past 20? I have super manlet hands might actually hop on HGH

 

[ElBastardo]

well that's why I'm asking. I mean if growth plates don't close, and people with acromegoly (like tumor on the pituitary gland producing HGH) still grow, then it might be possible. I don't know that's why I'm asking.

He died at age 22, it's quite simple to understand really. He had lower estrogen than the average human throughout his life which never peaked causing his growth plates to never fuse + pituitary tumor causing excess HGH + perfect gene polymorphisms for IGF-1 binding affinity and boom the perfect combination to become a giant.

Mary Ann Bevans lived to 59.

She was transformed by acromegaly:
