5'4" is super small. The standard deviation for male height is 3 inches and the average height is 5'9". That means the cut off for the second standard deviation is 5'3", which is to say that 99% of all men are taller than 5'3".
if you Assemble 100 men in a room, only one of them will be at or under 5'3", and only one other will be at 5'4". 76 of those men will between 5'6" (average for a woman) and 6'0", with half of those 76 being above 5'9".
5'4" is REALLY short for a man. It's just not outlier short, the point where medical explanations are necessary.

behold, the power of poor nutrition!
Southeast asia has their own height bellcurve because the islanders tend to be quite phenotypically short. But the math remains the same.
