Petite-ness and Chiari?

Im curious, I read several places that Chiari is more common in Petite females than any other. So Im wondering, are alot of us here petite? If even just in height? Im not asking for weight or anything. just wondering how many of us are petite? I am petite, 5'2 and under 120lbs. Would love to see...
Hope everyone is having a great day..
Mazie :)

I read it awhile back, while searching how common chiari is, and found it in two different sites actually. I will try to find them again and post their link!

Where did you read this anyway?.  It seems significant to me.  (although how many of us would have the same color hair, or be right handed)

By the way I'm the smallest person in my family.. I'm not sure if that is related but my family has a lot of big women (over 200+lbs.) And I'm like the oddball... and I out eat them.. lol. Idk why I'm so small. They all bug me about it.

I'm 5' 8.5" and 107lbs. Lol.. I have had terrible time trying to gain weight. My.doctor even.suggested I drink Ensure's but yeah they never helped... I think I have a high metabolism, because I NEVER exercise yet I've always been toned (ABS even).
