What Is Gigantism?

Gigantism is a rare condition that causes abnormal

growth in children. This change is most notable in
terms of height, but girth is affected as well. It
occurs when your child’s pituitary gland makes too
much growth hormone, which is also known as
somatotropin.

DWARFISM

 is a condition of short stature. It is defined

by the advocacy group Little People of
America (LPA) as an adult height of 4 feet 10
inches or under, as a result of a medical or
genetic condition. Although other groups
may extend the criteria for certain forms of
dwarfism to 5 feet, the average height of an
adult with dwarfism is 4 feet.
 WEIGHT
Obesity means having too much body fat. It is
not the same as overweight, which means
weighing too much. A person may
be overweight from extra muscle, bone, or
water, as well as too much fat. But both terms
mean that someone's weight is higher than
what is thought to be healthy for their height.

overall health.
