Fourteen midline facial tissue measurements were taken from 615 tracings of lateral radiographs of subadults aged 8 to 20 years. The data were collected to examine two questions: First, are there differences in facial soft tissue measurements between female and male subadults? Second, do facial tissue thicknesses change as children grow? Results indicate that males exhibit greater tissue thickness measurements than females but only significantly so after age 14. Results further indicate a trend of increased facial tissue thickness as individuals grow; however, correlations are weak and suggest that other unknown factors are involved. Data presented here can be of practical application for facial reproduction in forensic cases.
从615张8至20岁亚成年人的头颅侧位片描记图中获取了14项面部中线组织测量数据。收集这些数据是为了研究两个问题：第一，亚成年女性和男性之间面部软组织测量值是否存在差异？第二，随着儿童成长，面部组织厚度会发生变化吗？结果表明，男性的组织厚度测量值比女性大，但仅在14岁以后差异显著。结果还表明，随着个体成长，面部组织厚度有增加的趋势；然而，相关性较弱，表明还涉及其他未知因素。此处呈现的数据可应用于法医案件中的面部复原。
