  Hormone disorders, malnutrition, chronic disease, or a genetic disorder are some of the causes of short stature. [timesofindia.indiatimes.com]

  Worldwide, malnutrition is the most common cause of growth failure and is usually related to poverty or anarchy. Nutritional deficiencies in developed countries are more often the result of self-restricted diets. [emedicinehealth.com]
