If a person from Sao Tome and Principe is not 163.2 cm tall, is he/she short?

Not necessarily, as 163.2 centimeters is an average height of people from Sao Tome and Principe. In order to have a correct assessment of whether a height is suitable for a person, family history and some medical variables such as possible diseases, for example, must be taken into account.

Therefore, a person from 163.2 cannot be defined as tall or short by reaching a body size above or below 163.2, this assessment should be made by a medical professional.
