A dwarf is typically defined as a person with dwarfism, a medical condition characterized by short stature resulting from genetic or medical factors, usually defined as an adult height of 4 feet 10 inches (147 cm) or shorter. The most common form of dwarfism is achondroplasia, a genetic disorder that affects bone growth. Dwarfism can also be associated with various syndromes or health conditions. In a broader context, the term "dwarf" can also refer to small celestial bodies, such as dwarf planets in astronomy.
