Different short-stature cutoffs for men and women?

The stated cutoffs of 130 cm for men and 120 cm for women are not a generally accepted definition. Clinical sources commonly describe dwarfism as a medical or genetic condition associated with adult height around 4 ft 10 in (147 cm) or shorter; Little People of America applies that reference to both men and women. Height alone does not establish a diagnosis, and terminology and criteria can vary by context. Use the person’s preferred respectful wording, such as “person with dwarfism” or “short-statured person.”

About 147 cm is a reference for both sexes, but height alone is not a diagnosis.
