Title: Tibia/Femur ratio
Post by: Highest on November 21, 2020, 01:42:01 PM
How important is it to maintain 0.8 tibia/femur ratio for your long term health? There was a study that I saw here a while ago that said if tibia is too long you are at higher risk of arthritis was wondering if there was any more evidence about this sort of thing?

not as important as youd think
this forum loves to obsess, but there obviously is a natural amount of variation.

youll be fine as long as you dont go +/- 1.5 std deviations
