Question: is 5 foot 2 short?
Answer: All women between 5 feet 1.5 inches and 5 feet 8.5 inches are within one standard deviation, and comprise 68% of the female population. ... That is shorter than 58 inches (four foot ten) or taller than 72 inches (six foot) would be “really” short or tall. 5–2 is at the shorter end of the “normal”, but it is still normal.
