It is to establish the age norms of upper eyelid in the black subjects.
Measurements of upper eyelid, eyebrow height, crease height and the palpebral fissure were performed on 174 healthy Zairian subjects, without facial abnormalities. The subjects age-ranged from 1 to 60 years. There were 73 males (mean age +/- SD, 25.8 years +/- 15.6) and 101 females (mean age +/- SD, 24.8 years +/- 13.4). No statistically significant difference was found between the two sexes for mean age. Subjects were divided into five age groups: the first age group included subjects aged from 1 to 10 years, the second age group included subjects aged from 11 to 20 years, the third age group included subjects aged from 21 to 30 years, the fourth age group included subjects aged from 31 to 40 years, the fifth age group included subjects aged from 41 to 60 years. The measurements were performed with a ruler.
The mean eyebrow height measurements varied from 10.72 (group I) to 11.87 mm (group V) for the right eye, and from 10.76 mm (group I) to 11.74 mm (group V) for the left eye. Average pretarsal skin height ranged from 3.17 mm (group I) to 3.17 mm (group V) for the right eye and from 3.24 mm (group I) to 3.00 mm (group V) for the left eye. Average crease height measurements varied from 5.54 mm (group I) to 6.48 mm (group V) for the right eye, and from 5.57 mm (group I) to 6.78 mm (group V) for the left eye. The average palpebral fissure varied from 8.97 mm (group I) to 9.83 mm (group V) for the right eye and from 8.86 mm (group I) to 10.00 mm (group V) for the left eye. All measurements were aged related (p < 0.05).
Our results of upper eyelid crease height, eyebrow height, the amount of visible pretarsal skin and the amount of the palpebral fissure showed higher values than those published recently for caucasian subjects. The data obtained in this study showed racial difference and must be taken into account in interpretations of palpebral diseases and cosmetic surgery of the eyelid.
建立黑人上睑的年龄标准。
对174名无面部异常的健康扎伊尔人进行上睑、眉高、皱襞高度及睑裂测量。受试者年龄范围为1至60岁。其中男性73名（平均年龄±标准差，25.8岁±15.6），女性101名（平均年龄±标准差，24.8岁±13.4）。两性平均年龄无统计学显著差异。受试者分为五个年龄组：第一年龄组包括1至10岁的受试者，第二年龄组包括11至20岁的受试者，第三年龄组包括21至30岁的受试者，第四年龄组包括31至40岁的受试者，第五年龄组包括41至60岁的受试者。测量用尺子进行。
右眼眉高测量平均值从第一组的10.72毫米到第五组的11.87毫米，左眼从第一组的10.76毫米到第五组的11.74毫米。右眼前跗皮肤高度平均值从第一组的3.17毫米到第五组的3.17毫米，左眼从第一组的3.24毫米到第五组的3.00毫米。右眼皱襞高度测量平均值从第一组的5.54毫米到第五组的6.48毫米，左眼从第一组的5.57毫米到第五组的6.78毫米。右眼睑裂平均值从第一组的8.97毫米到第五组的9.83毫米，左眼从第一组的8.86毫米到第五组的10.00毫米。所有测量值均与年龄相关（p<0.05）。
我们关于上睑皱襞高度、眉高、可见前跗皮肤量及睑裂量的结果显示，高于最近发表的高加索受试者的值。本研究获得的数据显示了种族差异，在眼睑疾病的解释和眼睑美容手术中必须予以考虑。
