What is a short height for a woman in USA?


Question:
I feel so short everywhere I go, I'm 5ft 4' Am I just over reacting??

Answers:
Supposedly the average height is 5'3"
I'll look for something to support that.

Here you go:
According to the National Center for Health Statistics, the average height for an adult female in the United States is:
63.8 inches, or
5 feet 3.8 inches
This statistic for the average height for an adult female is from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted from 1999-2002.

depends on ur age and weight

yes men like small packages Anything under 5'0


Your taking it to seriously. Thats not to tall at all. Some people are just freakishly tall.

I say short is 5'0


Yes you are because some famous singers and actresses are only 4ft 11 like lil kim i would say 5'2


5' 4" is actually the average height for American women, so you're right in the middle of the pack - not too short and not too tall.


Well I'm 4ft9 and 30yrs old:that's short

I'm 5'4" so you arent' the only one. My mom is shorter than me, she's 5'0". I think you and I are averange. You are not short. I'm only 5' 5'' and my two best friends are 4'9'' and 5'1''. I don't think you're overreacting too bad tough.


well darling, i am 19 years old and have been short all my life. i am 4 ft. 11'. people think i am like 12 until i tell them i am 19. then they tell me that i am short (duh, i think i know that). So i think anyone under 5ft 2in is short. but it all depends on what you think. Short people Unite! :)


You sound just like my granddaughter! She is 5' 2" and she feels short too. Did you know that the average height of a woman in the USA is 5' 4" ? So, no, you are not too short!! Go figure, when I was growing up, I was 14 yrs. old and 5'7" and thought I was too tall. Don't worry so much, I am sure you are just fine the way you are. Good luck!
