Little People of America (LPA) defines dwarfism as a medical or genetic condition that usually results in an adult height of 4'10" or shorter, among both men and women, although in some cases a person with a dwarfing condition may be slightly taller than that.

A midget is less than 147 cm tall. Midgets are usually formed normally, while dwarfs have short and disproportionate body parts.
