THERE ARE SEVERAL HORMONES IN THE HUMAN BODY. SOME HORMONES HELP THE PERSON GROW TALLER AND THERE IS ANOTHER HORMONE WHICH IS GROWTH-INHIBITING HORMONE. 
DEPENDING UPON VARIOUS FACTORS IN THE BODY THESE HORMONES PLAY THEIR RESPECTIVE ROLES, BY WHICH A PERSON BECOMES TALL OR SHORT. 
A PERSON GROWS TALL WHEN THE PERSON’S BONES INCREASE IN LENGTH.THIS IS GOVERNED BY THE COORDINATED ACTION OF SEVERAL HORMONES, CHIEFLY THE GROWTH HORMONE (GH) PRODUCED BY THE ANTERIOR PITUITARY GLAND. THE SECRETION OF GH IS THE HIGHEST AROUND PUBERTY AND DECLINES PROGREESIVELY THEREAFTER. 
ALTHOUGH THE DECREASE IN GH SECRETION WITH AGE IS NOT WELL UNDERSTOOD, THE ONE FACTOR IS THE INCREASED SECRETION OF A GROWTH-INHIBITING HORMONE CALLED SOMATOSTATIN.
