The form of any object can be viewed as a combination of size and shape. A recently proposed method (euclidean distance matrix analysis) can differentiate between size and shape differences. It has been applied to analyse the sexual dimorphism in facial form in a sample of 108 healthy young adults (57 men, 51 women). The face was wider and longer in men than in women. A global shape difference was demonstrated, the male face being more rectangular and the female face more square. Gender variations involved especially the lower third of the face and, in particular, the position of the pogonion relative to the other structures.
任何物体的形态都可视为大小和形状的组合。最近提出的一种方法(欧几里得距离矩阵分析)能够区分大小差异和形状差异。该方法已被应用于分析108名健康年轻成年人(57名男性,51名女性)样本中的面部形态性别二态性。男性的脸比女性的脸更宽更长。研究显示出整体形状差异,男性脸更呈长方形,女性脸更呈正方形。性别差异尤其体现在面部的下三分之一部分,特别是颏前点相对于其他结构的位置。
