maybe. It could be genetic. I'm short, and so are my parents but my 2 little brothers are tall, because they have better nutrition and I always do exercise e.g. basketball, swimming.
For me its not a big deal. I dont really care about physical condition. The most important thing is that I have a good health condition. Nobody's perfect. Physically short is a weakness but I believe God give me something which is better than other people.

Hello, A person who as a adult is 4"9 is below average, considered short. And, yes it is genetic most of the time how tall one grows to as a adult.

Anyone who is an adult and is under 5 foot tall is considered to be short. Unless there is some hormonal problem genetics is the controlling factor.

It depends where you from and your ancestry too. It might be genetics. And yeah 4'9" is short. I am from asia and have alots of friends about your height and i am just blessed that i am not that short...5'5" i guess is good.

My grandmother is 5 foot in heels...she is considered short.
Whether or not it's genetics depends on a few factors...what size are your parents? Are you athletic?
If you are concerned see a doctor.

You are on the short side,but small is cute.It's not always genetics.My sis is 5ft 2",her husband's 5ft7ins,their sons are 6ft4ins and 6ft 3ins,but their adult daughter is only 4ft 11ins.Juat remember the old sayings...good things come in small parcels,and the bigger they are,the further people have to fall.Tell yourself you're pocket-size perfection.

If your mom is close to your hight and your dad is close to your hight than it is genetics. If your grandparents are close to your hight than it is more genetics. If your whole family is a lot taller than you than it is a flaw in genetics but either way it is mostly genetics.

I think you are an average person for your height.
