Statistically, that'd almost never happen, I don't even know if it is possible. At least not in a healthy, non-deformed individual.

93cm divided by 160cm (5'3") is ~0.58... WAY out of the bell curve.

Whoa, whoa...Wait.

My height is 172 cm. Wingspan 183 cm...and sitting height is only 82.6 CM. Making the ratio .48. Two standard deviations below average.

But I don't think my legs look long because compared to my chest and arms, they actually look short in the mirror. But these measurements are startling and pointing towards my torso being short, not legs.

CLL for my desired 2.2 inches would make my ratio .464 (82.6 cm / 178 cm) which isn't even on that chart above. I may have to do some mock up photos now to see if this would look too unusual or not. Would a person look ok with a (perhaps) noticeably short stomach but larger limbs and chest? Has anyone had CLL with an end ratio of .47 or lower so I can see?

PS I measured while sitting with my butt against the floor. No back support. Thanks for the charts and info.

Why do Africans supposedly have taller sitting height ratios than Europeans and Australians at some points in development? Do their legs grow last? From my observations, I'd never in a million years expect that

So my sitting height is 88.5 cm at 168 cm of height. This means that my ratio is at approximately 0.53 or "+1."

If I add 5 cm to my tibias and femurs evenly, for a total gain of 10 cm, my sitting height will obviously stay the same at 88.5 cm, but my height will be 178 cm. Therefore, my "post-lengthening" ratio becomes 0.50 or "-1."

Doesn't sound too bad? I guess I won't truly know until I gain the height.

This is exactly how I measured (both while sitting on chair and sitting on floor).
How tall are you? What is your wingspan and sitting height?
And it comes out to 33-33.5 inches (83 cm average). Just to be triple sure I just did it again a min ago. Same result. My overall height is 171-172 CM.

My leg proportions don't look off to me and nobody has ever commented on that. People have only commented that my arms/shoulders are broad for my body. Laughingly, people said I "look tall" in photographs before because of my posture and wingspan. And if you don't have a huge wingspan you could still give a wicked illusion with a proud and strong posture.

@RisingShorty, I will take some picts in the future of my whole body. Here's a 3 year old photograph showing my upper body tho.
I drew a line approximately wear my belt line is.

@Arche, that ratio is great man. Like I said, even at .48, nobody has ever commented on my legs. You would be perfectly fine with 10 cm imo. What is your wingspan tho?

Andrew, its hard to judge without the whole body, but from where you drew the line your upper body actually looks quite short imo.

As for your measurement, sitting height doesnt tell the whole story, the ichium bone or rather the thickness of your groin bones, will also determine how tall your sitting height is.

I for one have a sitting height of 89.5 cm (got measured at the clinic), but i also noticed that my groin bones when viewed from the profile view (side view) are very thin (as a whole im quite thin when looking sideways) so this means my torso is most likely taller compared to some people with taller sitting heights but thicker groin bones.

What wannabegiant said seems absolutely correct in my case. I have a 96CM sitting height but I feel that, while a little long, my torso isn't freakishly or super long, just a little. I have very thick bones and I think that my groin bones must be responsible for my sitting height.
