Do you guys think tall people and short people have the same body proportions?

For example my head is 7-7.7. times my height

I don’t have a study on hand, but anecdotally I think taller people tend to have greater variations in proportions. Particularly I think a lot of tall people get their height primarily form their legs and less so their torso. I actually particularly notice this in extremely tall women. They often times have a normal sitting height and stand up and BOOM, 6’3 surprise. But I think this is good news for LLers because it’s very common to have disproportionately long legs to torso when people are tall, again this is just my anecdote.

I believe tall people and short people have the same proportions but is just a visual effect

Dressing may affect visual effect. Some people look tall when wearing certain kinds of clothes.

General trend is that short people have also relatively shorter legs, specially tibias (which is a positive point for LL).
