Population comparison of facial soft tissue thickness.

Abstract

The thickness of the face's soft tissue has been widely measured through different populations around the world. In this study, we gathered and compared multiple measurements including our study group. We set the variables and included studies in which only females with normal values of BMI, age from 18 to 30years old were studied, and we included research with more than 10 study participants. We gathered 32 various studies and tested them with Kruskal-Wallis's test in RStudio. Statistical significance in tissue thickness was not confirmed when compared with the results of studies of different populations, which may indicate a greater importance in the bony mass in facial identification.
