Question
Is dwarfism simply a short stature?
Answer
The causes of dwarfism are complex, primarily influenced by genetic, nutritional, activity levels, environmental, and social factors. A short stature may be one of the symptoms of dwarfism, but not everyone who is short in stature has dwarfism. If you are concerned about your child’s abnormal height, it is recommended to consult a professional physician for evaluation and diagnosis.
