Height is 170 cm, but why do some people say I'm short?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I measured my height myself. My net height is 172 in the morning and 170 at night. Sometimes when I stand in front of a large mirror, I measure 170, but why do some people say I'm short?
Medical history and treatment effectiveness:
I have not received any treatment.
Desired help:
I want to know how tall I really am. Sometimes people tell me I'm tall, but when I hear someone say I'm short, I really feel like giving up on life. I measured 170 at night myself, and when I measured, I even checked my reflection in the mirror, and it was still 170.
Do I really have a height of 170?

Doctor's answer:

Dear patient, it is a pleasure to clarify your questions. Based on your situation, it may be that you are relatively overweight, which makes you appear shorter. It is recommended that you pay attention to regular exercise, perform more rotational movements, and supplement with calcium appropriately. It is best to have a bone age test to see the specific situation. The above suggestions are for the question "I measured 170 cm in front of a large mirror, but why do some people say I'm short?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
