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 |
