Anthropometric Study of Facial Height among Tribal (Garo) and Non-Tribal Bangladeshi Female of Greater Mymensingh District in Bangladesh

Abstract

Background: Craniofacial anthropometry is an important stem of anthropometry, in which the dimensions of the head and face are measured. It provides quantitative data, identifying people having different physical characteristics, diagnosing people having craniofacial abnormality related to congenital or genetic cause and differentiating between males and females.
 Objective: The purpose of the present study was to establish the ethnic anthropometric data for adult tribal (Garo) and non-tribal Bangladeshi female.
 Methodology: This cross sectional analytical type of study was conducted in Department of Anatomy, Sir Salimullah Medical College, Dhaka, from January 2015 to December 2015.The study materials consist of two hundred (200) adult Bangladeshi female of greater Mymensingh district age ranging from 25 to 45 years.
 Results: Among 200 female, 100 was tribal (Garo) female and 100 non-tribal female, the mean (±SD) facial height from ‘nasion to gnathion’ was higher in non-tribal female than tribal female (p<0.001).
 Conclusion: Facial height from ‘nasion to gnathion is higher in non-tribal female compared to tribal female among Bangladeshi female living in Mymensingh district.

A cross-sectional study of the anthropometry of the face among Bonos and Ewes in the Bono region of Ghana

“…The characteristics of the face can be used as a good identification tool for the dead, missing persons and criminals, using both morphological features and measurements (Ranjana et al 2016). Growth and development of craniofacial structures are of importance since clinicians depend on them for the process of treatment and diagnosis and in planning for maxillofacial surgeries (Arslan et al 2008;Tania et al 2020). Therefore, the knowledge acquired from the study of facial morphology is useful in several areas such as facial aesthetics, forensic medicine and medico-legal disputes as well as reconstructive surgeries (Akinlolu 2016).…”

“…Therefore, the knowledge acquired from the study of facial morphology is useful in several areas such as facial aesthetics, forensic medicine and medico-legal disputes as well as reconstructive surgeries (Akinlolu 2016). Surgeons must consider the specific facial structures of such patients to help obtain accurate results (Arslan et al 2008;Tania et al 2020). In Ghana, the face is useful in making identity cards and passports among others.…”
