E34.4: Constitutional tall stature
You are bigger than most people.
Your above-average body size is genetic. Genetic factors are the most common reason for being very big. When someone is bigger than most people due to genetic factors, it is not a sign of ill health. In this case, other family members are then also very big. Even when young, the person is usually already bigger than most other children.
