The longest person in the world. What kind is he?

Since childhood we get used to seeing other people around us. All of them, as a rule, are similar to ourselves. And those who are anything different, immediately cause genuine interest. Children tease them and do not take games, and adults try to avoid it. But sometimes it is unlikeness that becomes the reason why the whole world notices us.

Growth is much higher than average

The longest person in the world, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is still growing. Sultan Kozen - a Turkish youth of 29 years - was born in the most ordinary farming family. Since childhood, he suffered from a serious disease - a tumor in the pituitary gland. Because of this, a huge amount of growth hormones were released into the body . At 27 years old the longest man reached a mark of 2 meters 47 centimeters.

History of life - a medical history

Over the years, physicians have tried to save Cousin from a terrible illness. But all their efforts were in vain. The tumor continued to increase, and the boy - to grow. Only recently, thanks to the rapid development of medicine, the operation was a success. Education has been removed, but no one has yet decided to talk about full success. Today, the youth's height reached 2 meters 51 centimeters. In addition to outstanding growth, it also has the longest feet on the planet at 36.6 centimeters and palms at 28.5 centimeters. The longest person in the world can hardly move. To do this, he has to use crutches. They not only help to rearrange huge legs, but also reduce the burden on bones. The fact is that the body's dimensions are so large that there is a greater threat of damage to the knee joints. In addition, recently it became known that Sultan Kozen has problems with vision, which is rapidly deteriorating.

A young man often says that it is difficult for him to communicate with people. Many are afraid of him and try not to make friends with the giant. He still has not found happiness in his personal life, since he can not get acquainted with the girl. He really wants to get married and start a family. For this he participated in the contest "The longest people in the world". His photo in all its glory was to draw attention and make the weaker sex admire, and not be afraid. Whether Kozen achieved his goal is not yet known.

Everything could be different

What is the tallest person on the planet? It would seem that the answer is obvious. However, everything is not as simple as it seems. Sultan Cosen received his title not only because of outstanding growth. The thing is that Leonid Stadnik refused to participate in the contest. In fact, he is the longest man in the world. The growth of the Ukrainian is 2 meters 57 centimeters. His refusal, he argued that he does not want superfluous popularity, which greatly hinders him to live peacefully. He does not see in it any benefit and benefit for himself. Thanks to this, the young Turk took the first place.

Leonid Stadnik

A forty-year-old Ukrainian lives in the Zhytomyr region, in the village of Podolyany. This is a small village with a single street. A person with his growth would stand out even in the largest city, but here even more so. Local residents are already accustomed to the sight of an unusual neighbor. Moreover, he will never refuse help and will do any work that many healthy men can not do. The longest person in the world wears shoes of huge sizes. On sale this, of course, is not and is unlikely to be in the near future. Leonid has long been a regular customer atelier, making shoes to order. The mother helps him take care of the shoes. After all, this is by no means an easy task: to wash, clean, sew and so on. This job usually takes a couple of hours. Almost the same problem with clothing that wears out faster than shoes. Moving to Eugene helps his horse. No bicycle can stand it. He tried several times to sit on him. As a result, two bicycles were broken. Recently, the giant bought a car, which greatly accelerated his life.

How did it all happen?

His story is very similar to the previous one, or more precisely, his illness. Leonid was born quite a healthy child. Rose and developed like all the boys until the moment when he turned 12 years old. It was at this age that he discovered brain tumors in the pituitary gland. This led to severe consequences, namely acromegaly. For a long time he worked as a veterinarian. However, due to health problems, this activity also ceased. Because of the tremendous growth, he experiences difficulties with movement. To do this, he needs support. In 2008, the president honored his award in the form of a car "Chevrolet". Personal life, like many outstanding people, he does not add up. In this he blames only his illness and, of course, growth. Not every girl decides to start a relationship with a man who is above almost any two times. By nature, Leonid is a sociable person. Likes company and fun. Currently, medicine can not help him. Doctors try to make life easier for him. However, this is not a simple occupation.
