Why do people of short stature have different-than-average voices?

Asked by girlofscience (7567points) July 6th, 2008

I’ve been watching a few documentaries about different types of dwarfism on Discovery Health. The people who are extremely small tend to have different voices—ones that are very high-pitched and often difficult to understand. The documentaries have addressed every other issue regarding dwarfism but have failed to mention why voices in people of short stature are affected.
