Nasal dimensions in normal subjects: conventional anthropometry versus computerized anthropometry

American Journal of Medical Genetics. Part a

Abstract

The aim of the current investigation was to compare computerized measurements of nasal linear distances (nasal tip protrusion, height of the cutaneous upper lip, length of the nasal bridge) collected from 705 healthy individuals from Northern Italy (age range 6-60 years) using an electromagnetic digitizer with conventional anthropometric measurements: one set obtained on individuals of central European origin (Zankl et al.), and one set collected from North American Caucasians (Farkas et al.). On average, the present lengths of the nasal bridge were always significantly smaller than the European data (P < 0.01, Student's t for independent samples). Nevertheless, only in one sex and age group of 18 the discrepancy between the two mean values was larger than 10 mm. In other 10 groups, the mean values differed less than 5 mm. More limited differences (up to 6.5 mm) were found in comparison to the American data. For nasal tip protrusion, digital and conventional data were significantly different (up to 4 mm) in 18 instances of 30. On average, the present heights of the cutaneous upper lip were always smaller than the European data (up to 2.9 mm). The differences were statistically significant in 14 groups of 18. Minor discrepancies...Continue Reading
