Bands are percentiles among adults of the same sex: shortest 3% "very short", tallest 20% "tall", tallest 3% "very tall" — the same scale as every "Is it tall?" page on this site. Not a medical definition.
In Armenia, men under 165.4 cm (5′5″) are short (shortest 20%) and under 157.8 cm (5′2″) very short (shortest 3%). For women the limits are 151.1 cm (4′11″) and 143.8 cm (4′9″). Short or tall is just a statistical position.
