Abstract

Background: The established recommendations and guidelines regarding ideal measurements for an attractive face are mostly based on data gathered among Caucasian population. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between perception of 3-dimensional facial attractiveness and golden ratio, neoclassical canons, 'ideal' ratios and 'ideal' angles in Hong Kong Chinese.

Methods: Thirty 3-D photographs (15 males and 15 females) were shown to 101 laypersons and 60 patients seeking orthognathic treatment. The photographs were rated based on a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS) from 0 (very unattractive) to 100 (very attractive).

Results: More than half of the measurements (42/77) in females and thirty-two measurements in males were found to be significantly different from the ideal target value (p < 0.05) upon the comparison of the attractive faces with golden ratio, neoclassical canons, 'ideal' ratios and 'ideal' angles. Meanwhile, correlation tests between VAS scores and the parameters detected significant results (p < 0.05) in only six ratios, eight angles, one neoclassical canon and one proportion.

Conclusions: Despite several renowned 'ideal' parameters of attractive faces that have been recommended in the literature, only a few of them were found to be significantly correlated with attractive faces in Hong Kong Chinese.

三维面部吸引力与黄金比例、新古典主义标准、“理想”比例和“理想”角度有关吗?

背景:关于漂亮脸蛋的理想尺寸的既定建议和指南主要是基于在高加索人群中收集的数据。本研究旨在探讨香港华人对三维面部吸引力的感知与黄金比例、新古典主义标准、“理想”比例和“理想”角度之间的关系。方法:向101名外行人和60名寻求正颌治疗的患者展示30张三维照片(男15张，女15张)。这些照片是根据100毫米视觉模拟量表(VAS)从0(非常不吸引人)到100(非常吸引人)进行评分的。结果:超过一半的女性测量值(42/77)和32个男性测量值被发现与理想目标值有显著差异(p)。结论:尽管文献中推荐了几个著名的“理想”颜值参数，但只有少数参数被发现与香港华人的颜值显著相关。

期刊介绍： ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
