Anthropometric measurements and proportions of the female body play a significant role in plastic and reconstructive surgery. This study is aimed to identify the descriptive measurements of the breast in a sample population of young nulliparous Saudi women.
Fifty-four nulliparous Saudi women of 20-25 years old, with no physical or developmental deformity, and body mass index (BMI) of 20-25 kg/m were recruited. The following parameters were measured: body weight, height, BMI, sternal notch-nipple length for each breast (SN), internipple distance (IND), distance from nipple to inframammary fold (IMF), distance from edge of areola to the IMF, and areolar diameter (AD).
The mean values of age, BMI, height, and weight of the participants were 22.1 ± 1.2 years, 21.8 ± 3.1 kg/m, 162.1 ± 5 cm, and 57.4 ± 8.6 kg, respectively. The mean values of the breast parameters were 19.8, 20.3, 7.7, 5.4, and 4.5 cm for SN, IND, distance from nipple to IMF, distance from lower end of the areola to IMF, and AD, respectively. Statistically significant difference was found only in the distance from edge of areola to IMF between the right and left breasts, with the parameter significantly higher in the left breast ( < 0.05, n = 54). A positive correlation between weight and BMI was found in SN, IND, distance from nipple to IMF, and AD.
These study results will be useful for the comparison of anthropometric breast values of young Saudi women with those of women from other nationalities.
人体测量学指标及女性身体比例在整形与重建外科中起着重要作用。本研究旨在确定沙特未生育年轻女性样本群体中乳房的描述性测量指标。
招募了54名年龄在20 - 25岁、无身体或发育畸形且体重指数（BMI）为20 - 25kg/m的沙特未生育女性。测量了以下参数：体重、身高、BMI、每个乳房的胸骨切迹 - 乳头长度（SN）、乳头间距（IND）、乳头至乳房下皱襞（IMF）的距离、乳晕边缘至IMF的距离以及乳晕直径（AD）。
参与者的年龄、BMI、身高和体重的平均值分别为22.1 ± 1.2岁、21.8 ± 3.1kg/m、162.1 ± 5cm和57.4 ± 8.6kg。乳房参数的平均值分别为：SN为19.8cm、IND为20.3cm、乳头至IMF的距离为7.7cm、乳晕下端至IMF的距离为5.4cm、AD为4.5cm。仅在乳晕边缘至IMF的距离上发现左右乳房之间存在统计学显著差异，该参数在左乳房中显著更高（<0.05，n = 54）。在SN、IND、乳头至IMF的距离和AD中发现体重与BMI之间存在正相关。
这些研究结果将有助于比较沙特年轻女性与其他国籍女性的乳房人体测量学值。
