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 Bermuda, men under 170.1 cm (5′7″) are short (shortest 20%) and under 162.5 cm (5′4″) very short (shortest 3%). For women the limits are 157.1 cm (5′2″) and 150 cm (4′11″). Short or tall is just a statistical position.
