I think it has something to do with whether their torso and head are proportionate to the rest of their bodies. I'm tired of hearing about all the politically correct "people first" language though. Call a duck a duck!
I'm not saying short people are ducks...........I'm just saying that if you have a label, accept it and don't force the rest of us to bend over backwards learning the correct terms.
I do have a friend who is short..........I don't know whether she's a midget or a dwarf. She looks like an adult on short legs if that helps. : )

Dwarves have normal sized human heads and midgets have a head that is proportional to their body.

Midgets are pefectly formed in every way but just reduced in size.
Dwarfs are not perfectly formed and always have stubby fingers aand other features out of sync with the proportion of their body.

I believe they liked to be called "little people."
