height increase

Getting taller measurement

Height increase is any gain in vertical stature, whether through natural growth, medical intervention, or external means.

The term appears in discussions of childhood development, growth hormone treatments, and cosmetic procedures like limb lengthening.

It also covers temporary gains from shoe lifts or platform shoes: These insoles promise a two-inch height increase.
