kleinwüchsige

kleinwüchsige refers to individuals with dwarfism, a condition characterized by significantly short stature. This is typically defined as a height of 4 feet 10 inches (147 cm) or less. Dwarfism can be caused by over 200 different genetic conditions, with the two most common forms being achondroplasia and the average-<bos>_height form of dwarfism. Achondroplasia is a bone disorder that affects cartilage growth, resulting in disproportionate short limbs and a larger head. The average-height form of dwarfism, on the other hand, usually involves a generally proportionate body but with a shorter trunk and limbs.

Many individuals with dwarfism lead full and active lives. Medical conditions associated with dwarfism can vary depending on the specific genetic cause, but may include joint problems, hearing loss, or breathing issues. While there is no cure for dwarfism, medical interventions can sometimes address specific associated health concerns. The term "kleinwüchsige" is the German word for someone who is small in stature. It is important to use respectful and appropriate terminology when referring to individuals with dwarfism, such as "person with dwarfism" or "little person."
