Are you guys short because of being premature babies?

Recentlyby accident I've heard from my families that in fact I'm an SGA ((premature baby of one kind who not only was born earlier than normal babies but also my build is far smaller)cuz during pregnancy duration my mother didn't eat and drink enough cuz of poverty,and I didn't take in adequate nutritions(cuz the only food I can take in is my mother's breast milk)before 2 y.o to catch up peers' weights and heights.The ending is that of course my height ended below 5 percentile of millenials' average height.
I've done some researchings and I come to conclusions that if an SGA can't take in enough nutritions before 2 y.o,then his or her matured height will stop far below peers' average height.But I did them in domestic websites cuz I can't handle English scientific researchings so there is no meanings I post those Chinese articles on this forum.
Do some of you guys inherit not bad genes and keep good living habits but still get short for no reason?I think that's maybe because u r SGAs like me.

I was a normal baby but I got tuberculosis and jaundice in my growing years and had malnutrition as a result. I think it's all about nutrition.

Diseases can also have bad impact on one's metaboly and health plays role in height growth.Even though in my preadolescence I love having meat(but few vegetables),I was maintaining thin.Looks like my digestion is bad for some reasons.

Poor nutrition in my case, my other siblings are fine in the height department

Ι was born normally and completely healthy at about 4kg.

My elder cousin got worse luck in the height dapartment than mine.His father is 170cm+ and mother is around 160cm but he is only now near 170cm with fat build and his growth stopped.

I was actually born late. I was between 7-8 lbs (3-3.6 kg) at birth.

From birth to 2 y.o if your nutritional intake is enough then you can still grow to normal height.For special reasons I didn't take in enough nutritions.That's why I'm so so short.

I might've been SGA as well, I was always small, even since age 0 I was on average 2 years shorter than the typical kid my age. I actually end up catching up quite a bit after age 13 and 15 but still ended up 164cm, but I was like in the 1st percentile for majority of life. I do wonder if had I got more nutrients as a newborn or actually got HGH at age 0 (recommended treatment) to become normal baby size then I could end up at least 170cm

I can name some major types of adult shortness:

1) small baby in womb due to some medical issue (sga) so was stunted early on lack of nutrient in mommy stomach but otherwise had a normal growth

2) grow at a consistent rate, but GH deficiency so less growth in general

3) grow normally, was normal height, but earlier plate fusion so stopped growing at age 14

4) genetically short (parents are short and DNA)

i would like to blame 1), but for me it is probably 4), my parents are just short in general, but my brother is a solid 7cm taller than me and he never had SGA
