  Nowadays not at all – as everyone I shrink a little during the day to the squashing effect of gravity. When we are growing up there are many factors that determine how much we grow and how fast – hormones, genetics and environment all have a part to play. I can’t say much more as I am not a biologist.

  I only grow outwards, not upwards these days 🙂
