Yes. Torso and leg length is determined by the following factors:

  • Gender Puberty Period
  • Ethnicity and race
  • Puberty and BMI
  • Diet
  • Ancestry from the Neanderthals (?)

Females have a larger torso and shorter leg length on average than males. Males, on the other hand, have longer legs and a shorter torso on average. They are also, on average, taller than females.

The sooner puberty, the greater the torso-to-leg ratio. The later puberty, the longer the leg-to-torso ratio. This explains why females have a longer torso and shorter legs on average than males. Because girls begin puberty two years sooner than boys.

Those who live in warmer climates have a higher leg-to-body ratio. Sub-Saharan Africans have the longest leg to body ratio, making them ideal runners. Europeans have shorter legs than Africans yet have a higher leg-to-body ratio than Northeast Asians. Some people in Northern Europe have a lengthy torso to leg ratio. The majority of European ancestors came from the South.

Those with a low BMI at puberty have a greater leg-to-body ratio. Diet and lifestyle choices can alter the leg-to-body ratio.

A lengthy torso to leg ratio may be caused by Neanderthal origin.

Africans from Sub-Saharan Africa have the least Neanderthal heritage. They have the highest leg-to-body ratio. Northeast Asians have the most Neanderthal heritage, giving them the longest torso-to-leg ratio (but there are many exceptions too). Europeans have a trace of Neanderthal heritage. Their leg-to-torso ratio is greater than that of East Asians but shorter than that of Africans.

For the patient with breathing problem, first aid can be performed

Firstly Check the person's airway, breathing, and pulse. If necessary, begin CPR.

Loosen any tight clothing.

Help the person use any prescribed medicine (such as an asthma inhaler or home oxygen).

Continue to monitor the person's breathing and pulse until medical help arrives. DO NOT assume that the person's condition is improving if you can no longer hear abnormal breath sounds, such as wheezing.

If there are open wounds in the neck or chest, they must be closed immediately, especially if air bubbles appear in the wound. Bandage such wounds at once.

A "sucking" chest wound allows air to enter the person's chest cavity with each breath. This can cause a collapsed lung. Bandage the wound with plastic wrap, a plastic bag, or gauze pads covered with petroleum jelly, sealing it on three sides, leaving one side unsealed. This creates a valve to prevent air from entering the chest through the wound, while allowing trapped air to escape from the chest through the unsealed side.
