“…Interestingly, their study reported acute values for female NTA, which meant that high proportion of Turkish females have pointed noses. Eliakim-Ikechukwu et al [9] reported results for 2 ethnic groups, Ibo and Yoruba in 2013.…”

“…However, when it comes to Present study methodology was similar to that adopted by Uzun and associates [8]. However, Eliakim-Ikechukwu et al [9] and Anibor et al [10] also adopted similar methodology, except for the fact that they used lateral photograph printouts and then measured the angles on the hard copies. An instrument like 'Goniometer' could have been used to measure the angles; however, the present study methodology (photography technique) is an excellent method of documentation and is fairly easy to use.…”

“…Normally, both angles range from 85 to 105 degrees and females tend to have more obtuse values compared to males. NMA normally ranges from 120 to 130 degrees [8][9][10]. Prime objective of the present study was to describe the external nose angulations of Medical students (representing South Indian population) from Velammal Medical College Hospital and Research Institute, Madurai, Tamil Nadu.…”

“…In the present study (Table 1 & 2), the nasal index of the Igala, Ebira and Okun ethnic groups place them under the platyrrhine nose type. This is in conformity with previous researches conducted by Risley [19] that places the nose type of Africans into platyrrhine type.…”

“…Recently, anthropometry has found increase use in medical sciences especially in the discipline of forensic medicine [1]. Nasal anthropometry is the study concerned with the measurements of the proportion, size and shape of the human nose [2]. The knowledge of nasal anthropometry is useful in forensic medicine and physical anthropology, as one of the tools used in identification of different races, ethnicity and gender of an individual [3].…”

Abstracts: Nasal anthropometry can be employed in identification of the race and sex of individuals whose identity is unknown, since normal nose morphology is dependent on gender, ethnic and environmental influences. Nasal index is an ethnic sensitive anthropometrical tool and also exhibits sexual differences. This study is aimed at providing anthropometric data on the basic nasal parameters (nasal height, nasal width and nasal index) of three major ethnic groups (Okun, Igala and Ebira) in Kogi State, Nigeria. The study sample comprised 302 subjects aged 17-45 years; 109 Okun subjects comprising of 57 males and 52 females, 107 Igala subjects comprising of 55 males and 52 females and 86 Ebira subjects comprising of 55 males and 31 females. The nasal height and nasal width were measured using a sliding vernier calliper and the nasal index was calculated. Test for significance was done using independent t-test and ANOVA. The result from this study showed that the mean nasal index for Okun males and females were 97.23±7.89 and 93.64±8.22 respectively; the mean nasal index for Igala males and females were 97.21±8.88 and 93.48±8.72 and the mean nasal index for Ebira males and females were 96.93±8.66 and 92.99±7.62 respectively. Sexual dimorphism was noted in the nasal parameters of males and females in each ethnic group at P<0.05 but there was no significant difference in the nasal parameters between the ethnic groups considered at p<0.05. Okun, Igala and Ebira fall under the platyrrhine nose type. The result of this study will be relevant in forensic medicine, physical anthropology and clinical practice.
