The aim of this study was to determine mean values for selected linear measurements on the face of children and adolescents to demonstrate gender differences in the measurements. Cross-sectional data from 262 school children (158 male, 104 female) aged between 6 and 15 years were taken by measuring certain identified facial landmarks using a sliding caliper. The landmarks were first located by careful inspection and/or palpation of the face and a mark created on the cutaneous surface, with the subject sitting in habitual occlusion in an upright position. A sliding caliper was used to measure the distances between the points. The data was analysed using SPSS version 10.0 to determine mean values, standard deviation and gender differences in the measurements. Upper facial heights, total facial height, inter-canthal distance and eye length measurements were significantly higher in male than in female for 15-year-old group (p<0.0001). The measurement between the highest and the lowest point of attachment of external ear to the head was significantly larger in male than in female for 11 year old age group.
本研究的目的是确定儿童和青少年面部特定线性测量值的均值，以证明这些测量值中的性别差异。通过使用游标卡尺测量某些确定的面部标志点，获取了262名6至15岁学童（158名男性，104名女性）的横断面数据。这些标志点首先通过仔细检查和/或触诊面部来定位，并在皮肤表面做标记，受试者以习惯的咬合姿势直立坐着。使用游标卡尺测量各点之间的距离。使用SPSS 10.0版软件对数据进行分析，以确定测量值的均值、标准差和性别差异。15岁组中，男性的上面部高度、全面部高度、内眦间距和眼裂长度测量值显著高于女性（p<0.0001）。11岁年龄组中，男性外耳附着于头部的最高点与最低点之间的测量值显著大于女性。
