A member asked:
What is the average arm length and leg length for males in relation to average height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Proportional?: On average, leg length is just under half of the total height and arm span from finger tip to finger tip is about equal to total height. There are several factors that can affect these ratios, such as genetics, pubertal timing, health issues, etc.
