This study aims to test the effect of body mass index on certain facial soft tissue measurements. Three hundred Arab Iraqi young adults with different body mass indexes were randomly selected from the population in Basrah city. Different horizontal and vertical soft tissue measurements were obtained using different calipers. Sex differences were verified by an independent sample t-test, while the effect of different body mass index categories was evaluated by one way ANOVA and Tukey tests. Obese males showed significantly higher mean values for weight, nose width, face width, head circumference, and lower facial third length (p≤0.001). Obese females shared these parameters with obese males in addition to mouth width. Regarding sex differences, nearly all measurements were significantly higher in males than in females. Obese individuals had wider faces, noses and mouths; larger head circumferences and facial indexes; and longer lower facial third lengths. Moreover, they possessed smaller inner canthal widths as well as upper and middle facial thirds in comparison to normal and overweight subjects.

“…In addition to this, the mandibular region and the cheek region were the areas affected most by BMI, and the major factor affecting soft-tissue thickness is BMI. In their study on adolescents, Buyuk et al [12] stated that the glabella, pogonion, and gnathion soft-tissue thicknesses were higher in obese and overweight individuals than normally weighted individuals, while the nasion thickness was higher in overweight individuals than normally weighted ones.…”

“…BMI is one of the main factors of interpersonal differences in soft-tissue thicknesses. [12] Various imaging methods have been reported for the measurement of facial soft-tissue thickness in living beings. ese are the lateral cephalometric radiography, computerized tomography (CT), ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) methods.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the facial soft tissue and craniofacial morphological structures in adolescent obese individuals with different skeletal patterns. Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on 292 adolescents examined under three groups based on their body mass indexes (BMIs) as obese, healthy, and overweight. The subjects were also categorized based on skeletal classes as Class I, Class II, and Class III. Results: The glabella, nasion, labiale inferius, labiomentale, and pogonion values of the female patients were significantly higher in obese group. In the obese and overweight groups, effective midfacial and mandibular length, anterior and posterior facial heights, and SN values of the females were higher than males. In the obese group, the mean effective midfacial and mandibular length (Co-A and Co-Gn), anterior and posterior facial heights (S-Go and N-Me), and anterior cranial base (SN) values were significantly higher than other groups. Conclusion: Soft-tissue thicknesses increase as BMI value increases. Craniofacial morphology reveals significant differences between BMI groups.

Study Objectives: To establish whether craniofacial and nasopharyngeal morphology, assessed through lateral cephalometry, in children properly diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) differed from that of non-likely OSA control children stratified based on sagittal malocclusion and to evaluate if there is any association with apneahypopnea index (AHI) severity. Materials and Methods: Various cephalometric measurements were compared between 22 children (mean age 8.8) with nocturnal polysomnography (nPSG) diagnosed OSA that had already adeno-tonsillectomy and a control group of 20 nonlikely OSA children (mean age 9.2) based on a negative pediatric sleep questionnaire (PSQ) results matched for age, sex and sagittal malocclusion. Results: Statistically significant increases in Go-Me and Ba^SN dimensions were observed among OSA children when higher AHI values (4.5 and 4 mm), whereas ANSPNS dimension was significantly increased in the Class II sample according to OSA severity (3.5 mm). No significant differences were identified for any variables among Class III based on OSA severity. In comparison to controls, in Class II both the angle between palatal plane and anterior cranial base and the angle of the flexure of cranial base were significantly reduced in OSA children (0.36 and 2.3 mm). In addition, an increased thickness of the upper adenoid profile and a reduced dimension of upper pharynx were observed (3.2 and 2.1 mm). In Class III a shorter bony nasopharynx was statistically significant (3.2 mm). Conclusions:The OSA sample showed some distinct craniofacial features compared to a non-likely OSA group. These differences were not consistently located when sagittal malocclusion was considered.
