A person is classified as a dwarf, or having dwarfism, when they have a medical condition that results in short stature, typically defined as an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches (147 centimeters) or shorter. This condition is often caused by genetic factors or medical conditions that affect bone growth, such as achondroplasia, which is the most common type of dwarfism. Dwarfism can also be associated with various other health issues and varies in its physical and medical impacts on individuals.
