One of the first areas to show facial aging is the periorbital region, where brow malposition contributes to the overall appearance of aging. Movement and positioning of the brows are also sex specific. Men may desire a low brow, whereas women may prefer high, arched brows.
To develop the Brow Positioning Grading Scale for objective quantification of eyebrow position and to establish the reliability of this photonumeric scale for clinical research and practice.
A 5-point photonumeric rating scale was developed to objectively quantify positioning of eyebrows at rest. Nine experts rated photographs of 35 subjects twice with regard to positioning of the eyebrow in comparison with morphed images. Inter- and intrarater variability was assessed by computing intraclass correlation coefficients.
Bubble plots (bivariate scatter plots) demonstrated linearity in judgment by the experts. The test-retest correlation coefficients were acceptable for each expert.
The 5-point photonumeric scale generated spans the positioning of the eyebrow for which patients commonly seek correction. The scale is well stratified for consistent rating.
最早出现面部衰老的区域之一是眶周区域，眉位置异常会影响整体衰老外观。眉毛的运动和位置也存在性别差异。男性可能希望眉位置较低，而女性可能更喜欢高拱的眉毛。
制定眉位置分级量表，用于客观量化眉毛位置，并确定该数字量表在临床研究和实践中的可靠性。
开发了一个5分数字评分量表，用于客观量化静息状态下眉毛的位置。9位专家将35名受试者的照片与变形图像进行比较，对眉毛位置进行了两次评分。通过计算组内相关系数评估评分者间和评分者内的变异性。
气泡图（双变量散点图）显示专家判断具有线性关系。每位专家的重测相关系数均可接受。
生成的5分数字量表涵盖了患者通常寻求矫正的眉毛位置。该量表分层良好，可进行一致的评分。
