Definitions of anthropometric measurements in the present study

Anthropometric measurements Anthropometric landmark Illustrated in Fig. 1 as
Length of the head Vertex–gnathion I
Width of the head Straight line distance as measured with sliding caliper between the right external auditory meatus and left external auditory meatus II
Depth of the head Straight line distance as measured with a sliding caliper between back of the head and glabella III
Face height Glabella–gnathion IV
Lower face height Subnasale–gnathion V
Nose height Glabella–subnasale VI
Width of the mouth Right chelion–left chelion VII
Upper face height Glabella–upper lip VIII
Upper lip height Subnasale–upper lip IX
Mandible height Gnathion–lower lip X
Mandibular length Straight line distance as measured with a sliding caliper between the tragus and gnathion XI
Palatal width Straight line distance from the upper right first molar (16) to the left first molar (26), if one or both teeth were extracted then the distance from the alveolar ridges of the estimated location of the first molars was used Not shown
