How to use "Shortness" in context?
There is no one definitive explanation for why people are short, but it likely has something to do with genetics and might be aggravated by conditions such as asthma or prematurity. For some people, it's simply a matter of nature and nothing can be done about it - though this isn't always the case, as many people who are short can also benefit from therapies and interventions to help them better compensate for their stature.
