    With each increase of 1 kg/m^2 in BMI, your SH/H alters by approximately 0.01, which should be beneficial for those of us who are concerned about sitting height, like myself. Therefore, putting in hard work can help keep your ratios somewhat normal. The minimum should be roughly 0.49 and no lower to avoid appearing bizarre, with an optimal target closer to 0.51.

    In my situation, having a BMI of 21, I could increase it by 2 kg/m^2 to reach around 23, and my SH/H would be almost 0.53. This adjustment could make my aspiration of 175-178 cm more attainable compared to my current sitting height of about 85 cm, bringing it nearer to 87-88 cm.

    I read this some time ago, but the source escapes my memory.
