human growth

Human growth is the process by which the body develops physically from infancy through adulthood. It involves an increase in height, weight, and the size of organs and tissues, driven by cell growth and division. This development is regulated by genetic factors and influenced by nutrition, health, and environment. During childhood, growth is rapid, slowing down during adolescence as the body matures. In adulthood, growth stabilizes, but body composition and size can still change subtly over time. Overall, human growth reflects both biological programming and external influences shaping the body's development across the lifespan.
