The study of human identification is of great value in forensic medicine. Lip patterns have unique nature and individualism so can be used for human identification. The aim of this study was to find out the prevalence of Type II lip print patterns among medical students in a medical college.
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a medical college from 5 March 2022 to 1 April 2022 after ethical approval from the Institution Review Committee (Reference number: 057-078/079). The lip print pattern was categorized according to Tsuchihanshi's classification. Convenience sampling was done. Point estimate and 95% Confidence Interval were calculated.
Among 100 medical students, the Type II lip pattern was seen in 26 (26%) (17.40-34.60, 95% Confidence Interval) students. The largest number of participants was seen in 21 (80.76%) from the age group of 20-25 years.
The prevalence of Type II lip pattern among medical students was similar to other studies done in similar settings.
人类识别的研究在法医学中具有重要价值。唇纹具有独特的性质和个体性，因此可用于身份识别。本研究旨在了解医学院医学生中 II 型唇纹模式的流行情况。
在获得机构审查委员会的伦理批准后（参考编号：057-078/079），于 2022 年 3 月 5 日至 4 月 1 日在一所医学院进行了描述性横断面研究。根据 Tsuchihanshi 的分类对唇纹模式进行分类。计算了点估计值和 95%置信区间。
在 100 名医学生中，26 名（26%）（95%置信区间为 17.40-34.60）学生存在 II 型唇纹模式。年龄在 20-25 岁的参与者数量最多，为 21 名（80.76%）。
医学生中 II 型唇纹模式的流行率与其他类似环境下的研究相似。
