Own your shortness on this day, and enjoy yourself and the short people in your life.

The National Short Person Day History

It’s likely that you are the only friend in your group if you are unable to identify them. Though I’m not sure whether that’s you. So, is your view frequently obstructed during concerts? Do you often find yourself jogging a little bit to match your friend’s “slow pace”? Are you thirty years old and still receiving cards at bars? You’re the short friend, that’s the news we have for you.

Contrary to popular belief, Napoleon Bonaparte was not as short as he seemed. He was rather tall for a Frenchman of his era, standing at about 5 feet 7 inches. Napoleon’s supposed small stature developed from the British tendency to refer to their French adversary as “little Boney.” Moreover, Napoleon frequently seemed short concerning the even taller men in his guard, who were continually encircling him. He was listed as 5 feet 2 inches tall in his autopsy, although the measurement was in French inches, which were bigger than British and American inches.

Although there have undoubtedly always been short individuals, the definition of short varies based on historical period and nationality. In the United States, the average height of a woman is 5 feet 5 inches, and that of a man is 5 feet 10 inches. In contrast, the average height for men and women in China is 5 feet 6 inches and 5 feet 2 inches, respectively. Tallness and shortness are therefore relative; a man who is deemed small in America may be regarded as tall in China. However, if you’re lacking in your nation, don’t be scared to claim it. You have the day!

National Statistics for One-Day Individuals

5% higher than our predecessors

It makes sense that adults today are roughly 5% taller than those of 100 years ago, given that the average young adult is in better condition. But there’s a big difference in the world; in certain places, men and women saw rather different changes. In South Korea, for instance, women’s mean height climbed by 14% while men’s increased by 9%. Additionally, men’s height increased in the Philippines by about 5% but women’s did not.

In Bolivia, the average adult height is 4 feet 11 inches.

The average height of Bolivians, including both genders, is approximately 4 feet, 11.5 inches, making them the world’s shortest people. The nation is among the poorest in South America, with one in three children under five suffering from chronic malnutrition, which frequently causes them to be shorter than normal in height. In addition, hormones and heredity are considered to be major contributors, with Bolivian girls more vulnerable than boys. Additionally, data revealed that 42% of newborns were underweight.

An increased risk of 30% for skin cancer

due to their proximity to the sun! Really! Data collected on 5.5 million people with heights ranging from 3 feet 3 inches to 7 feet 6 inches between 1938 and 1991 indicates that being small implies a lower risk of skin cancer. Researchers in Sweden discovered that there was a 30% increased risk of skin cancer diagnosis in those who were taller than the norm. Therefore, if you’re small, don’t be scared to stand in the actual shadows of others who are taller than you. It benefits your well-being!

Activities on National Short Person Day

Identify the benefits of being brief.

It doesn’t matter if you’re tall, average, or short—on National Short Person Day, emphasize all the advantages of being short. For example, remind yourself or those in your life that being short gives you extra room to stretch out in cars and on airplanes. Additionally, you may choose between standard and petite apparel sections, and you won’t have to worry about obstructing someone’s view at a movie theater or concert.

Honor your pals.

Make sure everyone in your life who is shorter than you knows how wonderful they are. Make sure they feel loved and welcomed, whether you text them to let them know it’s National Short Person Day or give them a call to tell them how amazing they are.

Put on flat footwear if you’re tall.

Decide not to wear any shoes that will make you appear taller; instead, wear the flattest shoes you own to demonstrate your support.
