The tallest man and the lowest
woman in the world
Sultan Kosen is a Guinness
record in 2011. Its height is due to a tumor caused by acromegaly, a disorder
usually caused by a tumor in the pituitary gland that makes its growth hormone
production greater. Although the most curious thing about Kosen is that he will
not grow anymore, because thanks to a hormonal treatment he managed to stop his
growth.
It was necessary, because
apparently this could have represented not only a major problem but even death,
because his skeleton could no longer sustain it if it continued to grow.
For his part, Jyoti Amge
was born in 1993 and his 62.8 centimeters also allowed him to achieve the
record in short stature in 2011. Amge works as an actress and has taken
performance from his height because he develops his career in the Bollywood
industry and with projects to continue his profession in Hollywood.
There is a huge difference
between the two. The 34-year-old Sultan Kosen is the tallest man in the world
and is 2.51 meters tall while on the other side of the coin is Jyoti Amge of
Nagpur in India, which measures 62.8 centimeters. Both have the Guinness record
for the tallest man and the lowest woman in the world.
In a unique situation,
during the beginning of 2018, they posed together in Egypt, specifically in the
Pyramid of Giza, from where the difference between the centimeters that
separate from each other was seen. During the photo session they could meet and
pose in order to promote tourism in the country in a more than original way.
It is true that the
situation was somewhat funny, since Amge almost reaches Kasen’s knee, being
really peculiar. But besides them there have been many more people who have
broken records for their heights. What is clear is that both have something in
common, to be exceptional and have difficulties to dress and find both shoes
and clothes, and also when moving in society. One is left over and the other is
missing. But surely they are happy.
