A member asked:
Is 5'2 considered short for a female? what is the average height for a female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The average height: and weight of women varies around the world, but in the United States the average adult female height is 63.8 inches or just about 5 feet 4 inches. So 5'2" is on the short side. While there are some, especially genetic and glandular, causes of short stature which do have health implications, if you do not have any of those, you can consider yourself normal...embrace your shortness:)
