The upper eyelid crease height pretarsal skin and eyebrow height were studied in 305 Malay subjects (146 males and 159 females) varying in age from 2-80 years, who were randomly selected from the residents of Kota Bharu, Kelantan. In females, from the age of 11 years the mean pretarsal skin height increased progressively with age. In males, however, it decreased with age up to 60 years. In both sexes, subjects more than 60 years old showed highest values for pretarsal skin height. The mean eyelid crease height increased progressively with age from 11 years onwards in males but not in females. The mean eyebrow height increased with age in females but not in males. Eyebrow and eyelid measurements seem to show a definite racial variation. Besides establishing normal values for eyelid and eyebrow measurements in Malays, our findings indicate that age and sex should be taken into consideration to achieve satisfactory results in cosmetic eyelid surgery in Malays.
对305名年龄在2至80岁之间的马来受试者（146名男性和159名女性）进行了上睑皱襞高度、睑板前皮肤高度和眉高度的研究，这些受试者是从吉兰丹哥打巴鲁的居民中随机挑选出来的。在女性中，从11岁起，睑板前皮肤平均高度随年龄增长而逐渐增加。然而，在男性中，直到60岁，睑板前皮肤高度随年龄下降。在60岁以上的男女受试者中，睑板前皮肤高度均显示出最高值。男性从11岁起，上睑皱襞平均高度随年龄增长而逐渐增加，而女性则不然。女性眉平均高度随年龄增长，而男性则不然。眉和眼睑测量似乎显示出明显的种族差异。除了确定马来人眼睑和眉测量的正常值外，我们的研究结果表明，在马来人进行美容眼睑手术时，应考虑年龄和性别以获得满意的效果。
