  2. Growth is quantitative changes (e.g., height, weight) that can be measured.
  3. Genetics, nutrition, and hormones influence growth.
  4. Medical conditions such as thyroid, genetic disorders, and malnutrition can delay the growth of an individual.
  5. In humans, the boys generally stop growing around the age of 16 as the growth plates fuse shortly after puberty.
  6. They do show muscular development after this age as it remains unaffected.
