[edit] Lucia Zarate
Lucia Zarate is also listed as being the "shortast woman in recorded history", at 1'8". This article might need some changing.
- 1'8" is 20 inches, correct? Caroline Crachami was reported to be 19 1/2 inches (although she was still a child at the time of her death). Amillion 22:58, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- Pauline Musters is also said to have been the shortest woman. Crachami was not the shortest woman though because, as mentioned above, she died in childhood.--T. Anthony 15:34, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Real age at time of death?
A 1998 piece in the American Journal of Medical Genetics [1] suggests that Caroline Crachami was actually only 3 years old (or even younger) at death, not 9 years old as was reported at the time.
This would place her height more within the "normal" range for primordial dwarves. A comparable living example would be Kenadie Jourdin-Bromley, who is 27 inches tall at the age of 4, and who at the age of 2 or 3 could well have been of similar height to Crachami. Note the relatively small head size, which may make a 3-year-old primordial dwarf look like a proportionately shrunken version of an older child. 217.34.39.123 15:42, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
- Interesting. You should definitely add that to the article. Amillion 23:20, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
