When Do People Stop Growing?

The age of maturity varies for the different organs of the body. Maturity of the body's organs is affected by sex distinction, nutrition and physical exercise. Generally, girls mature at an earlier age than boys. Well-nourished children mature earlier than undernourished children. Children who get a lot of physical exercise mature earlier than those who do not. When a person is about 20 to 25 years old, most of his or her body organs, as well as his or her skeleton, have matured. So at this time, a person stops growing.
