    The author studies curves in \(\mathbb R^{n}\) for which the ratios \(\frac{k_2}{k_1},\frac{k_3}{k_2},\dots\) of the curvatures \(k_i\) are constant. These curves are called \textit{curves with constant curvature ratios} or \textit{ccr-curves}. The main result is that, in the even dimensional case, a curve has constant curvature ratios if and only if its tangent indicatrix is a geodesic in the flat torus.
