Abstract

Abstract Background Breast anthropometry research, evaluating the correlation between various breast anthropometric values with each other, is of great importance to the field of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. The research aims to describe the anthropometric features of the breasts of young Vietnamese women and compare them with other women’s groups worldwide. Methods The study was conducted on 128 nulliparous Vietnamese women, aged 18–25, with body mass index within the range of 18.5–25 kg/m 2 . Nineteen research indexes were divided into 3 groups: group 1 (general anthropometric indexes—3 indexes), group 2 (indexes related to the chest and breast—7 indexes), and group 3 (purely breast indexes—9 indexes). The breast volume was calculated according to the formula of author Qiao 1 : V = 3.14/3 * MP 2 * (LR + MR + IR − MP) (ml). Results The mean age was 18.6 ± 6, and the mean BMI was 21 ± 1.6 kg/m 2 . The mean breast volumes on the right and left were 437.1 ± 266.8 ml and 457 ± 259.7 ml, respectively. The left breast volume was significantly larger than the right. The mean areola diameter was 3.4 ± 0.6 cm. There was a strong correlation ( r > 0.5) between breast volume and 8 indexes: breast projection, medial mammary radius, nipple-inframammary fold length, lateral mammary radius, right suprasternal notch-to-nipple distance, chest circumference through the nipple, breast base width, and mid-clavicular point-to-nipple distance. There was no correlation between height and breast volume. Conclusions This study contributes valuable data to the breast anthropometry database of young, nulliparous Vietnamese women, which could be effectively applied in cosmetic and reconstructive breast surgery in addition to existing literature. Level of Evidence: Level III, Diagnostic; Risk/Prognostic.

越南青年乳房人体测量:一项对128名妇女的综合研究

摘要背景乳房人体测量学的研究，评估各种乳房人体测量值之间的相关性，对美容和重建外科领域具有重要意义。该研究旨在描述越南年轻女性乳房的人体特征，并将其与世界其他女性群体进行比较。方法选取年龄在18 ~ 25岁，体重指数在18.5 ~ 25 kg/ m2之间的未生育越南女性128例为研究对象。19项研究指标分为3组:第1组(一般人体测量指标- 3项指标)、第2组(与胸部和乳房有关的指标- 7项指标)、第3组(纯乳房指标- 9项指标)。根据作者乔1的公式计算乳腺体积:V = 3.14/3 * MP 2 * (LR + MR + IR - MP) (ml)。结果患者平均年龄18.6±6岁，平均BMI为21±1.6 kg/ m2。右侧乳腺体积为437.1±266.8 ml，左侧乳腺体积为457±259.7 ml。左乳体积明显大于右乳。乳晕平均直径3.4±0.6 cm。有很强的相关性(r >乳房体积与乳房投影、乳房内侧半径、乳头-乳下褶皱长度、乳房外侧半径、右胸骨上切口到乳头距离、通过乳头的胸围、乳房基底宽度、锁骨中部点到乳头距离等8项指标之间的差异为0.5)。身高和乳房体积之间没有相关性。结论本研究为越南年轻未生育妇女的乳房人体测量数据库提供了有价值的数据，可以有效地应用于乳房美容和重建手术。证据等级:III级，诊断性;风险/预后。

期刊介绍： Europe has always been an area of dynamic development in plastic surgery. Its great strength has been the lack of uniformity of this development due to differing cultures, different traditions, and differing medical and surgical philosophies. Over the recent years, these changes have been even more striking and rapid. The European Journal of Plastic Surgery creates a focal point for the input of new advances in clinical techniques and in research. It thus becomes an educational vehicle. In addition to this, the journal provides information on what is going on elsewhere in the world, and it is also willing to accept contributions from outside of Europe. Fields of interest include general plastic and reconstructive surgery, head and neck surgery, aesthetic and craniofacial surgery, hand surgery, microsurgery, treatment of bones, trauma, burn management and basic research related to all aspects of plastic surgery.Submitted articles are first evaluated by the Editor in Chief and if judged appropriate, are peer-reviewed by at least two selected experts. Reviewers may be plastic surgeons or other surgical/ medical specialists with expertise in specific areas of research. Manuscripts provisionally accepted for publication may be returned to the author for corrections or clarifications, in response to suggestions by the Editorial Board or external reviewers, prior to final acceptance. Online submission and peer review for rapid online publication are offered through the Editorial Manager System. The system creates a PDF version of the submitted article for peer review, revision and proofing. All correspondence, including the request for revisions and final decision, is managed by e-mail. Authors are guided step by step through the full process and are kept up to date on the article’s progress at every stage. Manuscripts submitted for publication must contain a statement to the effect that all human studies have been reviewed by the appropriate ethics committee and have therefore been performed in accordance with the ethical standards laid down in an appropriate version of the 1964 Declaration of Helsinki. It should also be stated clearly in the text that all persons gave their informed consent prior to their inclusion in the study. Details that might disclose the identity of the subjects under study should be omitted.Reports of animal experiments must state that the ''Principles of laboratory animal care'' (NIH publication No. 86-23, revised in 1985) were followed, as well as specific national laws (e.g. the current version of the German Law on the Protection of Animals) where applicable.Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc. should be placed in a separate section before the reference list. The names of funding organizations should be written in full. Authors are also required to disclose any relationships with public or private commercial or noncommercial entities, any institutional affiliations, or any personal associations that might pose a conflict of interest.The Editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts that do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements. The author will be held responsible for false statements or for failure to fulfill the above-mentioned requirements.
