Abstract

Amaç: Çalışmanın amacı sağlıklı genç bireylerin auriculasından elde edilen parametreler ile somatotipin ilişkilendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışma 18-30 yaş aralığındaki 256 gönüllü sağlıklı birey üzerinde gerçekleştirildi. Bireylerin vücut tipleri Heath-Carter somatotip yöntemiyle belirlendi. Daha sonra bireylerin auricula’sı fotoğraflandırılarak Image J programına aktarılıp belirlenen parametreler ölçüldü.
Bulgular: Heath-Carter somatotip yöntemine göre katılımcılarda sekiz farklı vücut tipi belirlendi. Mann-Whitney U testi ile aurikula morfometrisi ile vücut tipi arasındaki ilişki cinsiyete göre değerlendirildi. Mesomorfik endomorf bireylerde Inint-Sba mesafesi, endomorfik ektomorf bireylerde ise Pa-Crura Antihelix mesafesi anlamlı bulundu. Spearman rho testi, cinsiyete özgü farklılıklar gösterdi: Erkeklerde T-Sba, Inint-Sba, Superaurale-Sba ve Otobasion Superior-Pa mesafeleri arasında önemli korelasyonlar bulunurken, kadınlarda T-Sba ve Inint-Sba parametreleri arasında çok yüksek bir korelasyon saptandı.
Sonuç: Çalışmamız sonucunda vücut tipleri ile auricula morfometrisi arasında ve auricula morfometrisinin cinsiyete göre değerlendirilmesinde anlamlı ilişkiler bulundu.

Association between somatotype and auricular anthropometric measurements in healthy young adults

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study is to correlate somatotype with parameters obtained from the auricula of healthy young individuals.
Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on 256 healthy volunteery individuals between the ages of 18-30. Body types of individuals were determined by the Heath-Carter somatotype method. Then, the auricula of the individuals were photographed and transferred to the Image J program, and the determined parameters were measured.
Results: Using the Heath-Carter somatotype method, eight different body types were identified among the participants. The Mann-Whitney U test evaluated the relationship between auricular morphometry and body type by gender. Significant findings included the Inint-Sba distance in mesomorphic endomorphs and the Pa-Crura Antihelix distance in endomorphic ectomorphs. Spearman’s rho test revealed gender-specific differences: in males, key correlations involved T-Sba, Inint-Sba, Superaurale-Sba, and Otobasion Superior-Pa distances, while in females, a very high correlation was found between T-Sba and Inint-Sba parameters..
Conclusion: Significant relationships were found between body types and auricle morphometry, and in the evaluation of auricula morphometry according to gender.
