How do you know if your torso is long or short. i am 160cm women
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Our Anatomy: There is no right answer here. There is also very little in medicine that would tell someone that their torso was 'too' short or 'too' long. As long as the internal organs are present and functioning correctly then there is little to say medically.
