Do tall guys usually have longer legs in relation to torso?

Wow this is great, it means when you have longer legs as a result of LL people might just think you are born with it.

The ex-Premier of Singapore is 187 cm and it looks like his torso height is similar to the rest :http://superadrianme.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/NHLC-SM-Goh-Chok-Tong-posing-for-the-camera-with-the-HPM-Mall-Representatives.jpg

Old people lose height on their torso, not what he wouldve looked like when he was younger. As I said, just look at sitting height percentiles and all the information you need is there, id recommend not going below a black man ratio if your white.

Where are the sitting height percentiles?

I was spending a relaxing evening looking up articles about human proportions and came across this:

There are also biologically and statistically significant variation between human populations in body shape. Eveleth and Tanner [45,46] published data for body proportions and leg length, estimated via the sitting height ratio, from dozens of human populations, distributed across most geographic regions of the world (Figure 9). The sitting height ratio (SHR) is a commonly used measure of body proportion. Measured stature minus sitting height may also be used to estimate leg length but this measure does not standardize for total height making it difficult to compare individuals with different statures. Mean SHR for populations of adults varies from minimum values, i.e., relatively longest legs, for Australian Aborigines (SHR = 47.3 for men and 48.1 for women) to the maximum SHR values, i.e., relatively shortest legs, for Guatemala Maya men and Peruvian women (SHR = 54.6 and 55.8 ).

My ratio at the moment is 53%. I am Caucasian, but I am now less concerned about my proportions knowing I'm on the upper end of the spectrum. I'll be 51% after LL.
