Title: What is the consensus on sitting height?
Post by: Shor7Guy on September 21, 2014, 11:45:26 AM

What is the lowest ratio relative to height without deviating from the norm, for example what is the 5th percentile? I know that anything between the 5th and 95th percentile is considered the average range. Thanks, this site has been awesome BTW!

0.495 SH/H ratio is -1 SD.
0.477 SH/H ratio is -2 SD.

So 0.477 is at 2 percentile.

Btw SH/H ratios correlate negatively with height. Shorter people will have higher SH/H ratios.
