Short height

2025-07-20 11:27:06
I am 20 years old and my height is 4 feet 7 inches. I have normal body proportions, but I look very short compared to others. Some people have told me that I might be a dwarf. I want to know — based on my height, can I be medically considered a dwarf? Or is my height still within the normal range? Also, is there any way to confirm this through any test or diagnosis? Please guide me.
