Are genetics the main component on how tall you will grow up in life? or does weight, physical activity, what you eat, smoking, drugs, alcohol, effect on how tall you will be?

That may not be true. I was a long-distance runner in HS and I trained heavily. When I graduated, I had not yet reached 5'3". My first year in college (almost no running, and certainly not 5-6 miles a day) I grew by about 4".stickythighs said:Physical activity and diet plays a tiny role.
I am only 5'1".
There are several factors that can influence your height, including genetics, nutrition, and overall health. Genetics play a large role in determining how tall you will be, as height is often passed down through family members. Good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle can also contribute to reaching your maximum potential height.
While there is no exact maximum height that a person can reach, most individuals will stop growing in their late teens or early twenties. This is because the growth plates in the bones fuse and stop producing new cells, which leads to a halt in height growth.
Unfortunately, there is no scientific evidence to suggest that any specific exercises or treatments can increase a person's height. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help you reach your maximum potential height.
On average, males tend to be taller than females due to hormonal differences and genetics. However, there is a wide range of heights among individuals of both genders, and gender alone is not the sole determining factor of height.
Most individuals will stop growing in height by their late teens or early twenties, as this is when the growth plates in the bones fuse and stop producing new cells. However, some individuals may continue to grow in height into their mid-twenties.
