Why are women, on average, shorter than men? The answer is simple: estrogen. The hormone makes your bones grow extremely fast, and getting a lot of it all at once will trigger an intense growth spurt. That’s why girls, generally are taller than boys during puberty. Then estrogen levels taper off for women, but men create a steady stream of the hormone for years. Eventually, women are done growing, but men keep going long after these hormonal shifts.
