Abstract

Introduction

Anthropology is the scientific exploration of the human body morphology. The present study aims to establish the anthropometric norms among young Persian ethnic women and compare them with golden proportion, a mathematical formula in facial esthetics.

Methods

This cross-sectional study was performed on Persian women between July 2020 and January 2021. Persian women were randomly selected based on the inclusion criteria of the study. Two standard photos were taken of each participant in profile and frontal angle, and then the anthropometric ratios were extracted and compared in different groups.

Results

Two hundred twenty-five Persian women aged 20–50 years with an average age of 32.4 ± 7.09 were included. The golden ratio in Fars ethnicity was 1.79 ± 0.24. Forehead height I significantly increased with age (p value = 0.03). Philtrum length also showed a significant age-related increase (p value = 0.001). Lower and upper lip heights increased with age (p value = 0.002). Our results revealed statistically significant differences in the mean labial fissure width among the three age groups (p value = 0.009). Lower vermilion height significantly decreased with increasing age (p value = 0.028). The mentolabial and nasal dorsum angles exhibited significant differences among the age groups (p value = 0.002). Furthermore, the jaw and chin angles were notably lower in the younger age groups (p value = 0.047 and 0.001, respectively). When comparing different ethnicities, the Turk ethnicity stood out as having a significantly higher chin angle.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the present study challenges the universality of the golden ratio, with Persian females demonstrating a closer adherence to a ratio of 1.75 and recommending a modified golden ratio for Middle Eastern. Our findings also highlight the importance of considering age-related changes in cosmetic interventions, particularly lip and forehead dimensions.

健康波斯女性的人体测量和角度测量与黄金比例的比较。

人类学是对人体形态学的科学探索。本研究旨在建立波斯族年轻女性的人体测量标准，并与面部美学的数学公式黄金比例进行比较。方法：本横断面研究于2020年7月至2021年1月期间对波斯妇女进行。根据研究的纳入标准随机选择波斯妇女。每个被试分别从侧面和正面角度拍摄两张标准照片，提取人体测量比，并在不同组间进行比较。结果：纳入225例波斯女性，年龄20 ~ 50岁，平均年龄（32.4±7.09）。法尔斯族的黄金比例为1.79±0.24。额高I随着年龄的增长而显著增加（p值= 0.03）。中骨长度也显示出与年龄相关的显著增加（p值= 0.001）。下、上唇高度随年龄增加而增加（p值= 0.002）。我们的结果显示，三个年龄组的平均唇裂宽度差异有统计学意义（p值= 0.009）。下朱砂高度随年龄的增加而显著降低（p值= 0.028）。鼻背角和颏背角在不同年龄组间差异有统计学意义（p值= 0.002）。此外，低龄组的下颌和下巴角明显较低（p值分别为0.047和0.001）。当比较不同的种族时，突厥人的下巴角明显更高。结论：总之，目前的研究挑战了黄金比例的普遍性，波斯女性表现出更接近1.75的比例，并为中东推荐了一个修改后的黄金比例。我们的研究结果还强调了在美容干预中考虑与年龄相关的变化的重要性，特别是嘴唇和前额的尺寸。
