Guinness record: the smallest woman in the world

Jyoti Amge is an 18-year-old student from India. She is known as the smallest living woman in the world.
This is officially recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. The growth of the record holder is only 62.8 cm.
Jyoti suffers from a disease known since ancient times - achondroplasia - a systemic lesion of the skeleton.
One of the manifestations of this disease is dwarfism. This disease in humans is not treatable.




The disease is quite rare - 1 in 50-100 thousand people. In September 2009, Jyoti Amge was in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's smallest teenager with a height of 61.95 cm. In two years, its growth increased by only 0.85 cm.



Now Jyoti's height is less than that of a two-year-old. Jyoti Amge has outgrown the smallest woman in history.
