PD and Stature: 29 Sep 1996: The other day at a PD support group meeting, I noticed that four of the 8 or 9 attendees were small people; not dwarfs or midgets, just notably in the lower half of the range. I don't know offhand of any specific report on this correlation, but there must be a pile of statistics out there. Just for fun, I'd like to hear from anyone who feels he or she is small: say 63" or less for women, 67" or less for men. If you know any other PWP in this category, send the data for them too. All I need for now is: Height(inches); Gender; Age at diagnosis. This is decidedly not a scientific survey, but stature may well be brain-related (the pituitary is nearly at the center of the brain). I'll count the entries and, if they look interesting, post results here in a couple of weeks. Cheers, Joe J. R. Bruman (818) 789-3694 3527 Cody Road Sherman Oaks CA 91403
