The present study is to identify primarily the morphological characteristics in the growth proportion of the head and face for young Korean (8-24 years) and compare the magnitude of growth changes to the sex-related differences. Total 1255 were divided into 3 age groups: childhood (8-10 years), adolescence (14-16 years), and young adult (20-24 years). The anthropometric assessments were performed with 11 landmarks on the head and facial dimensions. The standardized frontal and lateral head and face photographs were analyzed the craniofacial growth proportions and morphological features for the comparison of both sexes. The noteworthy differences of anthropometric measurements between sexes with growing were noted on the lower head height (22.6%, 17.8%), midface height (22.0%, 19.6%), lower face height (23.5%, 14.7%), and face length (21.1%, 14.9%), face breadth (14.8%, 11.3%) of males and females, respectively. Whereas the upper head height (7.9%, 6.0%) and upper face height (4.2%, 0%, respectively) were less growing features. The most remarkable changes are the dimension of midface height and lower face height in both sexes. The present study could demonstrate a fundamental example to elucidate the sex-related dimensional differences for the analysis of the growth proportion of both sexes in Koreans.
本研究旨在主要识别韩国年轻人（8-24 岁）头部和面部生长比例的形态特征，并比较性别相关差异的生长变化幅度。共有 1255 人分为 3 个年龄组：儿童期（8-10 岁）、青春期（14-16 岁）和青年期（20-24 岁）。对头部和面部尺寸进行了 11 个标志点的人体测量评估。对标准化的正面和侧面头部和面部照片进行了分析，以比较男女的颅面生长比例和形态特征。随着生长，男女之间的人体测量测量值存在显著差异，主要表现在下头部高度（22.6%，17.8%）、中面部高度（22.0%，19.6%）、下脸部高度（23.5%，14.7%）和脸部长度（21.1%，14.9%）以及脸部宽度（14.8%，11.3%）。而上头部高度（7.9%，6.0%）和上面部高度（4.2%，0%）则是生长幅度较小的特征。最显著的变化是男女中面部高度和下脸部高度的尺寸。本研究可以为分析韩国男女生长比例的性别相关维度差异提供一个基本范例。
