Anthropometric parameters related with the periocular region (PR) have gained great importance with the optical technology used in the treatment of eye defects. They have also become important parameters that determine the limits of treatment in aesthetic surgery procedures in PR and the treatment of orbital diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship of PR measurements with somatotype.
Somatotypes were determined by using the Heath-Carter method. Ten indirect anthropometric measurements, namely nasal root (mf-mf), outer chantal distance (ex-ex), inner chantal distance (en-en), interpupillary distance (p-p), right and left palpebral fissure width (ex-en), palpebral fissure height (ps-pi), and orbital height (os-oi), were taken from PR with Image J program. Kruskal-Wallis H test was used to compare data with each other. Post-hoc Mann-Whitney U test was used to find out which group caused statistically significant differences according to the results of the Kruskal-Wallis H test.
A statistically significant difference was found between some indirect anthropometric measurements taken from PR and somatotypes (P < 0,05). This difference was found to result from central group somatotype, in which no somatotype component has different effects from another one, for both genders. In almost all of the indirect anthropometric measurements, it was found that balanced ectomorph somatotypes reached the highest median values, while central group somatotypes had the lowest median values.
As a result of this study, somatotype affects the appearance of PR. It will be possible to obtain more accurate and reliable results in aesthetic surgery interventions and identification studies. Our study is the first and a pioneer in its field in the literature. It will inspire and guide future researchers, surgeons, anthropologists, and forensic doctors who will work in this field.
与眼眶区域（PR）相关的人体测量参数随着治疗眼部缺陷的光学技术的发展变得越来越重要。它们也成为决定 PR 美容手术程序和眼眶疾病治疗治疗范围的重要参数。本研究旨在探讨 PR 测量值与体型的关系。
采用 Heath-Carter 法确定体型。使用 Image J 程序从 PR 中获取十个间接人体测量值，即鼻根（mf-mf）、外眶距（ex-ex）、内眶距（en-en）、瞳孔间距（p-p）、右眼和左眼睑裂宽度（ex-en）、睑裂高度（ps-pi）和眶高（os-oi）。使用 Kruskal-Wallis H 检验比较数据。根据 Kruskal-Wallis H 检验的结果，使用事后 Mann-Whitney U 检验找出哪个组导致了统计学上的显著差异。
从 PR 中获取的一些间接人体测量值与体型之间存在统计学上的显著差异（P < 0.05）。这种差异是由于中央体型组引起的，其中没有一个体型成分与另一个体型成分有不同的影响，对于男女都是如此。在几乎所有的间接人体测量中，发现平衡的外胚层体型的中位数最高，而中央体型的中位数最低。
由于本研究，体型会影响 PR 的外观。这将使美容手术干预和识别研究能够获得更准确和可靠的结果。我们的研究在文献中是第一个也是开创性的。它将激励和指导未来在该领域工作的研究人员、外科医生、人类学家和法医学家。
