are there any published tables that outline the age and sex differences with regards to skeleton body proportion?

type of question such a table would reveal is what range of differences would the femur and tibia bone length be between a 'generalized' male and female adult, or how would these proportions differ between a baby and a full grown adult?

well generally are made up of 8's or 6's (6 heads worth in length) and also the golden ration plays a part for example: finger joints - the middle joint is 1.618s as long as the tip and the base 1.618 x as long as the middle. This ratio is throughout the human body, from teeth size, torso length to leg length, arms, everything.
