Dwarfism
Dwarfism is a medical condition characterized by short stature, typically defined as an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches (147 centimeters) or less. It is often the result of genetic or medical factors that affect bone growth and development, leading to shorter-than-average limbs and trunk. Dwarfism can vary widely in its presentation, and individuals with dwarfism may have different physical characteristics, health concerns, and functional abilities.
