Zeng Jinlian (simplified Chinese: 曾金莲; traditional Chinese: 曾金蓮; pinyin: Zēng (Céng) Jīnlián; June 26 1964 – February 13 1982) was the tallest female ever recorded in medical history. She is also the only female counted among the twelve individuals in medical history who reached a verified eight feet or more. At the time of her death at the age of 17, in Hunan, China, she was 8 ft 1¾ in (248 cm) tall. However, she could not stand up straight due to a severely deformed spine. Nevertheless, she was the tallest person in the world at the time. In the year between the death of 8 feet 2 inch Don Koehler and her own, she surpassed fellow 'eight-footers' Gabriel Estavao Monjane and Suleiman Ali Nashnush. Her growth patterns mirrored those of Robert Wadlow, as shown by the table below.
| Age of Zeng Jinlian | Height of Zeng Jinlian | Age of Robert Wadlow | Height of Robert Wadlow |
|---|---|---|---|
| <4 | 5 feet 1.5 inches | 5 | 5 feet 4 inches |
| 13 | 7 feet 1.5 inches | 13 | 7 feet 1.75 inches |
| <18 | 8 feet 1.75 inches | 18 | 8 feet 3.5 inches |
