Health Days 2021

​Overview:

Every year on October 25, International Dwarfism Awareness Day celebrates little people.  The day also spreads awareness for achondroplasia, a bone growth disorder that causes dwarfism. Dwarfism is characterized by having short arms and legs in comparison to the head and trunk.  People with dwarfism may also have other physical problems.  Most people with dwarfism do not have any serious problems and can lead a relatively normal life, as well as have normal life expectancies. Others could deal with some physical or social barriers.
