Nasofacial Anthropometric Study Among Nupe Ethnic Group, Nigeria

Anthropometry data of Nasofacial indices dimensions is vital in Nasofacial Surgery, Forensics Medicine and Diagnostic comprehension. This study is aimed at observing the variation of length and width of face and nose among Nupe Ethnic group of Katcha Local Government Area of Niger state. A cross sectional study was done on 400 colleges and secondary school students aged between 12-20years, using appropriate sampling method. The Nasal facial length and width were measured and recorded. The data were analyzed using SPSS/16.0 software. The mean value of Facial index for the male and female Nupe subjects showed 70.2±0.61 and 69.1±0.53 with mean Nasal index of 90.87±0.42 and 90.3±0.584 indicating the dominance of hypereuryprosopic face type and platyrrine nose type. The difference in Facial and Nasal indices between male and female Nupe subjects was not statistically significant (p>0.05). These measurements in healthy subjects are useful for dysmorphologist in the early identification of some dysmorphic syndromes like cleft lip associated with nose disorders; it will also be relevant in Forensic Medicine, Rhinoplatsic Surgery and Physical Anthropology.
