How short are you to be a dwarf?
"Dwarf" just means that the person is short and that their height is caused by a medical condition. However, there are many different medical conditions that can cause dwarfism. If children lack enough Human Growth Hormone, they may be dwarfs but that doesn't cause unusual body proportions. Certain genetic conditions can cause lack of growth of the long bones of the body, resulting in dwarfs that have short legs and arms relative to their torso. If a person is 4' 8" but they are just short, without any specific medical cause, then they are not a dwarf. However a person who is 4' 9" due to a genetic disorder is a dwarf. Many people prefer the term "little person" to "dwarf". "Dwarf" may be seen as inflammatory in some contexts.
How does a dwarf become a dwarf?
Dwarfism can result from a myriad of different medical conditions, each with its own separate symptoms and causes. Two disorders, achondroplasia and pituitary dwarfism, are responsible for the majority of dwarfism cases, but they don't become one unless you mean the developement in the uterus. i got part of this from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarfism#Causes
What does an elevated parathyroid hormone level mean?
It means that for whatever reason, your parathyroid glands are trying to increase your blood's calcium level. This may be a normal response if you are hypocalcemic. However, if your calcium levels are normal (or even high) it may be the result of a malfunction of the parathyroid glands. Chronically elevated parathyroid hormone will cause your bones to release so much calcium to your blood that weak bones result.
What is the correct term for people with dwarfism?
This is a politically charged question. There are several answers to the question, but each one of them may or may not be considered offensive, and even that is up to the person being referred to. If you can find a person affected with dwarfism, ask them in a serious manner, as if looking for information. If they take you seriously enough to answer you seriously, they'll most likely tell you what doesn't offend them personally. This does not, however, mean that ALL people affected with dwarfism would not be offended by the term. My suggestion is to call them 'people'. That's what they are. Learn to look past their stature, chances are, you'll find someone who has an outlook on life that you've never encountered before.

Can dwarfism be prevented?

Result of hypo-production of HGH?
In children, having a deficiency of human growth hormone can cause major problems. The hormone is important for body development, so a lack of HGH can stunt growth, or even cause growth failure. The lack of proper growth leads to congenital malformations, as well as delayed maturation. In adults (much more rare), the lack of HGH may result in obesity and a decrease in muscle mass.
