“…On analyzing the nose in the present study, it was observed that the mean nasal index was more significant in males than in females. Similar to our research, Ozdemir et al, [11] have shown the nasal parameters of males to be higher than females, suggesting that the sex of an individual could be estimated from morphometric measurements of nose. In the present study, analysis of nasal parameters among the undergraduate dental students was performed.…”

Background: The nasal index determination is one of the most commonly used anthropometric parameters in classifying human races. Aim: The objective of this study was to determine the normal parameters of the external nose (Nasal height, width and nasal index) in the south Indian population. Subjects and Methods: The study was conducted randomly on healthy subjects of both sexes. Nasal height and width were measured using a vernier caliper. Then, the nasal index was determined for each subject. The obtained data were subjected to statistical analysis (SPSS Version 21). Results: A total of 143 subjects, 73 males and 70 females, aged 18-23 years, were enrolled in the study. The study showed the existence of sexual dimorphism in nasal morphology, appearing after the age of 20 years. The mean nasal index in the investigated adults was 42.1 ± 8.4 in males, and females were 31.7 ± 3.8, respectively. The dominant nasal type was Leptorrhine in male 46.5% (n=34) and female was Mesorrhine 41.4 % (n=29) respectively. Conclusion: This study can help in understanding the need for those who want a more "shapely" nose. Forensic medicine, Genetic counseling, Anthropological research, Cosmetic, reconstructive surgery, Orthodontics, and specific manufacturing industries, benefit from age-and gender-based data of the study.

“…1 For nasal anatomy, several technologies have been used for anthropometric measurements: a sliding caliper and the estimation of anthropometric points. 2,3 Linear indices have been calculated for the nose such as the index of prominence to width, defined as the interalar distance. 4 A source of error in these studies was observer error in locating the landmarks with insufficient reliability of identification of soft tissue landmarks on photogrammetry.…”

Both intended and unintended surgical modifications of nasal width and shape of the nasal tip continue to be of interest to the rhinoplasty surgeon. As validated instruments for quantifying width and boxiness are lacking, the objective of this study was to introduce a width index and a boxiness index for the nasal dorsum and the nasal tip. A width index and a boxiness index were defined within the methodological limits of noncontact sonography. The reliability of both indices was studied by comparing the measurements of two examiners on the noses of five volunteers. The validity of the indices was studied by correlating the sonographic width and boxiness with the 5-point Likert scale ratings of photographs of 5 noses by 21 lay persons. Nasal width was defined as the diameter at a distance of 5 mm from the skin surface on a sonographic cross-section perpendicular to the skin surface. Boxiness was defined as the quotient of width at a depth of 1 and 5 mm. Bland-Altmann analysis revealed negligible bias between both examiners and 95% of limits of agreement of 13, 7, and 13% for width at 1 mm, width at 5 mm, and boxiness, respectively. Corresponding Pearson's correlation coefficients were = 0.93, = 0.93, and = 0.71. The correlation between the cumulative lay persons' scores and sonographic width and boxiness were = 0.97, = 0.66, and = 0.81 for nasal tip width, dorsal width, and boxiness, respectively. Both the width at a depth of 5 mm as measured with sonography and the boxiness index that is defined as width at a depth of 1 mm divided by the width at a depth of 5 mm may prove to be acceptable surrogate parameters for width and boxiness of the nose in comparative morphometric studies.

“…The normal values of nasal dimensions and position have been established for various racial and ethnic groups. [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Unfortunately, the South Indian women (SIW) are Dravidian people and the norms of Indian women and other races often may not suit them. So there is a need for mean values of nasal morphology specifically for this population.…”

Anthropometric Analysis of the South Indian Woman's Nose

The normal values of nasal dimensions and position have been established for various racial and ethnic groups. Unfortunately, there is a dearth of information related to these values in South Indian females, leading to surgeons being forced to use statistical data from Caucasians in their decision making. The objective of the present study was to compare statistically the nasal anthropometric measurement of South Indian women (SIW) with published norms for North American white women (NAWW) using independent t-test. Anthropometric analysis was done on standardized frontal, lateral, and basal photographs of South Indian woman's noses (n = 375) ages 18 to 35 years. Comparative analysis showed significant differences between SIW and NAWW in 15 of 17 measurements. All 14 nasal indices revealed significant differences that were calculated. SIW had relatively shorter, wider, and more horizontally oriented noses, and the noses have ellipsoid appearance in submental view, deeper nasal root, underrotated nasal tip, flared alae, and rounded nasal tip. As cosmetic surgery becomes more popular among South Indians, the obtained normative mean values might serve as a prototype for facial surgery.
