5% for perfect pins

11:03 Tue 22 January 2008

Scientists have proved that whether you’re short or tall, anyone can have super sexy legs. Well, as long as they’re 5% longer than average. Which explains why Kylie –at just 5-foot – has topped a best legs poll. She has that extra 5%. As usual, scientists have spent loads of money researching a secret formula for beauty. So here comes the science…

The average woman is 5’4” and has an inside leg measurement of 29”. But to have the perfect legs she must have legs 31.5”. The scientists say this derives from the fact that short legs are associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes and with a higher level of a body fat called triglyceride, which is linked to the clogging of the arteries, heart disease, strokes and insulin resistance in men.

So there you go. Get measuring. If you’re lucky, you might have that extra 5%. If not, get yourself to the local S&M dungeon…they might have a rack you can try out…
