Objectives:
To analyze the nose measurements using conventional methods in 361
patients who were chosen incidentally in our policlinic. Methods:
Nose measurements of the patients who admitted the policlinic in Ankara
Numune Hospital between September 2003 and May 2005 were evaluated using
conventional anthropologically methods. Results:
Ages of the patients were between 15 and 85 years, mean 55 (± 17) years
old. Of these patients, 180 were female, 181 were male. Mean nose width
were 3.4 ± 0.2 cm (female) and 3.7 ± 0.3 cm (male), mean nose length
were 5.3 ± 0.3 cm (female) and 5.8 ± 0.4 cm (male), mean nose height
were 1.9 ± 0.9 cm (female) and 2.0 ± 0.2 cm (male), mean alar-pronasale
distance were 3.2 ± 0.2 cm (female) and 3.6 ± 0.2 cm (male), and mean
alar-subnasale distance were 2.1 ± 0.2 cm (female) and 2.3 ± 0.2 cm (male). Conclusion: In our study we evaluate the anthropological nose structure and measurements in Turkish population. We evaluated nose measurements bigger in male population and with age nose measurements getting smaller. |
