“…26 It was the least common among (4.32%) Thai 24 and Japanese populations as well. 3 A study done among Colombian population found that the mesocephalic was the second common type of head 27 which was comparable to the present study. But a study conducted in Romanian population and reported the dominant cranial type in their study as mesocephalic.…”

Background:The description of the human face has been a major concern since long time. Individual identification is one such field where anthropometric parameters, especially cephalo-facial measurements, are an important tool in determining the various shapes of head and face. Hence the objective of the study was to determine the shapes of head and face. Methods:The present study was a cross-sectional and observational type which consisted of 222 individuals (115 female and 107 male). It was conducted from January to June, 2019 after receiving ethical approval. The cephalic and facial indices were derived after measuring length and breadth of head and face. The collected data was entered in excel and analyzed with SPSS (22.0). Results:The present study observed that the most common type of face was hyperleptoprosopic 168 (75.68%) followed by leptoprosopic 43 (19.37%), mesoprosopic 10 (4.50% female only) and euryprosopic 1 (0.93% male only). Similarly, the most common type of head was dolicocephalic 165 (74.33%), followed by mesocephalic 51 (22.97%), and brachycephalic 6 (2.70%). Conclusions:This study concluded that the hyperleptoprosopic face was most common type and the least common type was euryprosopic face. The most common type of head was found to be dolicocephalic and the least common type was found to be brachycephalic.

“…(20) In Africans, leptoprosopic face was considered to be the commonest type of face. (25) In both Serbian adult male and female population, leptoprosopic face was the commonest type of face (81.7%), and was followed by mesoprosopic face type, hyperleptoprosopic face type. (3) In Iranian males, mesoprosopic phenotype face was in 38.4% of subjects, whereas in females, euryprosopic face was in 51.7% of subjects.…”

A B S T R A C T BACKGROUNDBeauty indicates a specific proportion system. It comprises facial height, width, and symmetry. A beautiful and an attractive face or facial morphology, which is affected by many factors such as social, cultural, ethnic, racial, climate, gender, age, socioeconomic, nutritional, and genetic is a subjective concept. We wanted to determine the facial morphology, golden ratio, and classify the face shape, in Turkish healthy adults. METHODSThis is a descriptive study conducted among two hundred twenty-eight (139 females; 89 males) subjects aged between 18 and 25 years. Physiognomic facial height, the width of face, face golden ratio, morphological facial height, facial index were measured. Based on the face index, the face shape was classified as hypereuryprosopic, euryprosopic, mesoprosopic, leptoprosopic, and hyperleptoprosopic. Also, the face shape was determined according to the golden ratio. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS Ver. 22. Chi-Square Test was used to determine the differences between gender and face measurements. A p value of <0.05 value was considered as significant. RESULTSOut of 228 subjects, face shape according to golden ratio was normal in 11 female subjects, short in 128 female subjects. Also, in males, the same parameter was normal in 10 subjects, short in 72, and long in 7 subjects. On the other hand, significant differences were found between the genders. Hypereuroprosopic face type was the least observed in males but not in females. CONCLUSİONSThe facial shape data may be valuable for evaluating various disorders and variations for plastic surgeons and orthodontists and other clinicians.

“…Although indirect methods of anthropometric measurements have been used, the gold standard is still considered to be the direct in-vivo technique, which is conventional and low-cost. This quantitative method allows an accurate measurement of hair-covered areas and lacks the risk of causing distorted views that are occasionally caused by photographic images used in indirect anthropometry [23,33]. Pouya et al compared the direct and indirect anthropometric measurements for the analysis of cephalofacial dimensions and found that the mean cranial length of males was higher than females.…”

“…As a negligible difference was found between the two techniques, they suggested using the robust and low-cost direct anthropometric methodology for constructing more extensive normative databases [29]. A complete assessment of the craniofacial region, consisting of the shape and form of cranium and face, can be performed thoroughly by using anthropometrical indices derived from craniofacial measurements [9,33]. In recent anthropometric studies of the face, the results showed that total facial height, upper facial height, and facial width of males were higher than those of females.…”

The craniofacial indicators of aggression: a cross-sectional multiparametric anthropometry study

The craniofacial features of a person are unique and critical in the evaluation of age, gender, and ethnicity. The relationship between craniofacial properties and behavioral patterns have been one of the most common research topics. There are studies on the association of facial width-to-height ratio (fWHR) and aggressive behavior in men; however, no consensus has been reached as there are inconsistent study results. Most of the studies focus on measuring the predetermined fWHR in searching for a link to aggression. As the literature lacks data on the associations of multiple craniofacial ratios and aggression, we aimed to study the correlation of aggressive behavior and multiparametric anthropometric measurements of the craniofacial region in a study group consisting of university students aging 18-38 years. The aggression questionnaire results showed that male students had statistically higher scores than females in all subdomains, except physical aggression. Anthropometric studies revealed that males had higher mean values of craniofacial dimensions and indices than females, except the frontal height, the total lip height, frontal index, and cranial length-head circumference index. The statistical analyses for correlations showed that frontal, upper facial, and total facial height-facial width indices correlated with general and verbal aggression, frontal and upper facial indices correlated with physical aggression, and upper facial and total facial height-facial width indices correlated with indirect aggression only in males. We conclude that our study represents the first example of an extensive craniofacial anthropometric research that correlates several craniofacial measurements and ratios with various aggression subdomains.
