The tallest woman in the world

Yao Defen is the current holder of the title 'world's tallest woman'. She grew up in rural Shucheng province, and it is thought she suffers from an ailment known as gigantism that has developed due to a tumor in her pituitary gland. Along with gigantism, Defen also suffers from a number of other conditions including:
  • hypertension
  • heart disease
  • poor nutrition
  • osteoporosis
  • acromegaly

Until 2008, Sandy Allen held the title of 'world's tallest woman' according to the Guinness World Records, but she died at the age of 53.

Dutch woman Trijntje Keever is another contender for the tallest woman in history. She reportedly reached a height of 2.54 meters, although the fact that she was alive during the seventeenth century makes it difficult to accurately verify. Incidentally, she also died at the age of 17.

The tallest woman ever recorded in history was a lady called Zeng Jinlian. She was born on 26th June 1964 in the village of Yujiang in the province of Hunan in China. At her full height, Zeng measured a whopping eight foot and one and three quarter inches, or 248 cm. Zeng's mother first noticed that she was growing larger than most children her age at the age of four months old. By the time Zeng was four, she was a towering five foot tall and when she was 13 she measured over seven foot. Both of Zeng's parents were average height.

Zeng died at the young age of 18. Due to a curvature of her spine, Zeng could not stand up straight and so was bent over for much of her life.
The tallest woman still living today is a lady by the name of Sandy Allen who lives in Chicago, USA. Sandy, who was born in 1955 is now seven foot seven and one quarter of an inch in height and weighs 33 stone.
