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 Uzbekistan, men under 163.8 cm (5′4″) are short (shortest 20%) and under 156.4 cm (5′2″) very short (shortest 3%). For women the limits are 153.1 cm (5′0″) and 146.2 cm (4′10″). Short or tall is just a statistical position.
