The aim of this study was to determine the average penile length of a group of healthy, young Turkish men, and to investigate the relationship between penile length and somatometric parameters in the same group. The flaccid and stretched length and circumference of the penis was measured in a group of 2276 physically normal, young men. The correlation between penile length and weight, height and body mass index (BMI) of the participants was determined by Pearson's analysis. The mean age of the participants was 21.1 ± 3.1 (18-39) years. The mean flaccid, fully stretched and circumferential length of the participants' penises were 8.95 ± 1.04, 13.98 ± 1.58 and 8.89 ± 0.86 cm, respectively. There was a significant relationship between all of these variables (P<0.01). Although weak positive correlations were found between the mean circumference length and BMI, there were no correlations between both the flaccid and stretched lengths and BMI. The penile length must be known to be able to determine the abnormal penile sizes and to make convenient decisions in the counseling and/or treatment of people with short penis concerns. Our study provides mean penile lengths in a large sample of healthy, young Turkish men, and the penile dimensions were found to be weakly correlated with somatometric parameters.
本研究旨在确定一组健康的年轻土耳其男性的平均阴茎长度，并研究同一组中阴茎长度与体尺寸参数之间的关系。在 2276 名体格正常的年轻男性中测量了阴茎的松弛和伸展长度和周长。通过 Pearson 分析确定了阴茎长度与参与者体重、身高和体重指数（BMI）之间的相关性。参与者的平均年龄为 21.1 ± 3.1（18-39）岁。参与者的阴茎松弛、完全伸展和周长长度的平均值分别为 8.95 ± 1.04、13.98 ± 1.58 和 8.89 ± 0.86 cm。所有这些变量之间都存在显著的关系（P<0.01）。虽然在平均周长长度和 BMI 之间发现了弱的正相关关系，但在松弛和伸展长度和 BMI 之间没有相关性。为了能够确定异常的阴茎尺寸，并为有短阴茎问题的人的咨询和/或治疗做出方便的决策，必须知道阴茎的长度。我们的研究提供了大量健康年轻土耳其男性的平均阴茎长度，并且发现阴茎尺寸与体尺寸参数之间存在弱相关性。
