A cephalometric study was conducted on 50 male and 54 female Sotho-Tswana children 11-16 years of age. The subjects were selected for excellence of occlusion and balance of facial proportions. Various analyses, including Steiner, Wits, and McNamara, were used for the evaluations. The mean measurements were compared with those of other Southern African Black groups and Caucasoids. Our study shows that cephalometric analyses for other groups cannot be used with confidence for the Sotho-Tswana people and our data provides norms for them.
对50名11至16岁的索托-茨瓦纳族男性儿童和54名同龄女性儿童进行了一项头影测量研究。这些受试者因咬合良好和面部比例匀称而被挑选出来。使用了包括斯坦纳（Steiner）、维茨（Wits）和麦克纳马拉（McNamara）在内的各种分析方法进行评估。将平均测量值与其他南部非洲黑人组和白种人的测量值进行了比较。我们的研究表明，其他群体的头影测量分析不能放心地用于索托-茨瓦纳族人群，而我们的数据为他们提供了标准。
