Short height
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.
