Midget is an extremely short person. The term generally describes a person with the medical condition dwarfism.

The term "midget" is considered outdated and offensive; the preferred term is "person with dwarfism" or "little person." Dwarfism is typically defined as having a height of 4 feet 10 inches (147 cm) or shorter. Therefore, someone who is 5 feet tall would not be classified as having dwarfism.
Dwarfism occurs when an individual person or animal is short in stature. It is caused by slow or delayed growth and resulting from malnutrition or a hormonal abnormality. It can be treated with an appropriate diet or hormonal therapy.
