Does the ratio remain constant throughout our lives?Is the ratio same for both males and females? If not why?

It depends. Some people like me have long torso and arms, and short legs. Others are the other way. Some are roughly equal.

In drawing, the body is always divided into three: from head to waist and from waist to heels. This is the IDEAL ratio of a man's body which was actually based on the greeks (a human body is equivalent to 8 heads). If we follow this, it would be but natural that the mid point would be the belly button.
However, everyone is different. Some are perfectly proportioned while others have longer legs or longer torsos.
But yes, this is pretty much constant throughout our lives and is the same for both males and females. The only difference between genders is the shape of the body, not the proportion.

For the same reason that everyone knows about the Natalie Holloway case, but if it were a little black girl in the ghetto you'd only hear about it for a week. There's two reasons for it as I see it, race, and the fact that the American media doesn't pay much attention to it, so we're not exposed to those images too much, in much the same way the media ignores political candidates they don't agree with, and the fact that they don't show much video of the war (mission accomplished) anymore, they don't want us to focus on those things. T.V=Opium for the masses. As for abortion, it's just a political tool at this point. The Christians are so contradictory anyway, they hate abortion, think contraception is a sin, (because the naked human body and taking pleasure in sex for it's own sake is "dirty") but they rarely adopt orphans, and when they do, it's even more rarely black children. Thanks for the sermon Buddy, save it for the pulpit.

On Average, human's hip to heel ratio is about 15 % longer then head to hip. But Again it depends on individual.

You have got to check this out...The Golden Ratio...or Phi...was in the Da Vinci Code but is for real. A ratio that fits body parts & many other ratios in nature. The golden # is approx. 1.6. The top of your arm is 1.6x elbow to wrist X1.6 is wrist to tips of fingers. Fingers...@ joint is 1.6 of rest of finger. Check it out.
Lots of things in Nature based on this ratio.
I'll bet waist to heels is about 1.6 times head to waist.
Check out Wikipedia etc. for more explanation.
My son got an A+ on a paper about this.
Nature works with patterns & this is one of them.
