The tallest man ever was Robert Wadlow with a height of 8 ft 11.1 in (2.72 m) while his weight reached 439 lb (199 kg) at his death at age 22. His great size and his continued growth in adulthood were due to hypertrophy of his pituitary gland, which results in an abnormally high level of human growth hormone (HGH). ( from fb ).

Of course, it was an unusual height due to abnormally high level of a specific hormone. However humans are increasing in weight and height. Earlier it was rare to have a man above 6 ft 6 inches. Now there are large number of people with height up to 7 ft. Names of a few persons are given below :

1. Gheorghe Muresan 7′ 7 “

2. Mathew McGrory 7′ 6″

3. Yao Mung 7′ 6″

4. Andre the Giant 7′ 4″

5. Kelvin Peter Hall 7′ 3″

6. Kareem Abdul Jabbar 7′ 2″

7. Dikembe Mutombo 7′ 2″

8. Richard Kiel 7′ 2″

9. John Asen 7′ 2″

10.Shaquille O’Neal 7′ 1″.

Some of them are basket players, boxers, film stars etc and are healthy.

In due course, the height may reach reach up to 8 ft. also.

Therefore there is a necessity to rearrange every thing in one’s life to suit the increase of height, weight etc. Better earlier than late.
