Amis is the largest aboriginal population in Taiwan. The previous dermatoglyphic studies of the Amis only reported limited data. In this study, we collected and analyzed the dermatoglyphs of 200 Amis individuals, and we reported a wide range of dermatoglyphic variables including total finger ridge count, a-b ridge count, atd angle, axial triradius percent distance, and frequencies of fingerprint pattern, palmar thenar pattern, palmar interdigital pattern, and simian line. This study is the first comprehensive dermatoglyphic research of Amis since 1960s, and its dermatoglyphic data will be useful for future research in anthropology, genetics and medicine.
阿美族是台湾最大的原住民群体。以往对阿美族的肤纹学研究仅报告了有限的数据。在本研究中，我们收集并分析了200名阿美族人的肤纹，报告了一系列肤纹变量，包括总指嵴数、a-b嵴数、atd角、轴三角百分比距离，以及指纹模式、手掌鱼际纹、手掌指间纹和猿线的频率。本研究是自20世纪60年代以来对阿美族首次全面的肤纹学研究，其肤纹数据将有助于未来人类学、遗传学和医学的研究。
