Abstract

Study Design: Descriptive cross-sectional. Objective: To establish anthropometric norms and test the validity of four neoclassical canons among Kenyans of Indian descent. Methods: Using direct anthropometric landmarks, 3 vertical and 4 horizontal measurements were made on the faces of 130 adult Kenyans of Indian descent. The mean of each anthropometric measurement was calculated and a student t-test was used to identify significant gender differences. These results were compared to four neoclassical canons and the percentage of each canon and its variants were recorded. A chi-square test was then performed to assess any gender differences between these findings. Results: When comparing sexes, the anthropometric means of males were larger than those of females except for eye fissure length. In addition, only the upper third displayed sexual dimorphism. As for the neoclassical canons, the orbital canon was found to apply to 20.0% of males and 21.6% of females, followed by the naso-oral canon found in 16.4% of males and 17.6% of females, and the orbito-nasal canon present in 14.5% of males and 18.9% of females. The vertical canon was not found to be applicable to any participant. Conclusion: The facial morphometric measurements in this population differ from the described neoclassical canons since they do not apply to the majority of these individuals. Therefore surgeons should be guided by the observed population-specific differences during reconstructive and facial aesthetic surgery.

印度裔肯尼亚成年人的新古典主义信条分析。
研究设计:描述性横断面研究目的在印度裔肯尼亚人中建立人体测量标准,并检验四种新古典标准的有效性。方法:使用直接的人体测量标志物进行测量:使用直接人体测量地标,对 130 名印度裔肯尼亚成年人的面部进行 3 次垂直测量和 4 次水平测量。计算每个人体测量值的平均值,并使用学生 t 检验来确定显著的性别差异。将这些结果与四种新古典主义标准进行比较,并记录每种标准及其变体的百分比。然后进行卡方检验,以评估这些结果之间是否存在性别差异。结果比较性别时,除眼裂长度外,男性的人体测量平均值大于女性。此外,只有上三分之一部位显示出性别二态性。在新古典主义标准方面,20.0% 的男性和 21.6% 的女性采用眼眶标准,16.4% 的男性和 17.6% 的女性采用鼻-口标准,14.5% 的男性和 18.9% 的女性采用眼-鼻标准。没有发现任何受试者有垂直卡农。结论该人群的面部形态测量与所描述的新古典主义标准不同,因为它们不适用于这些人中的大多数。因此,外科医生在进行整形和面部美容手术时应以观察到的特定人群差异为指导。
